Vitamin A & D for non-liver eaters

[freyasam]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been able to find where RP recommends to get Vits A & D if you can't/won't eat liver.

The dairy products I've seen don't seem to have much A or D in them, so I guess I should take a supplement. I welcome any guidance here.

Also if you know what amounts of each vitamin Ray recommends, that would be helpful too.

I find it pretty difficult to find answers to my questions in his articles and interviews.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you Mittir!

So since I am mildly hypothyroid (TSH 2.5 T3 3.0) but am not taking thyroid meds I guess I will go with 5000 IU for Vitamin A.
