I'm having a lot of success with vitamin A very rapidly... My dry acneic skin is glowing and clearing up, my allergy to perfume is disappearing , I feel calmer and can see an increase in progesterone from some signs i recognize having taken progest-e with success in the past. Small doses previously did nothing for me so I've been experimenting with high doses balanced with the other fat solubles. (Ive also done extensive zinc experiments over the years as well as used the other fat soluble vitamins, none of it ever helped my skin) I am on 2 grains of thyroid and do well with it but I didn't think my thyroid status was good enough to explain needing large amounts of this substance, and I don't get a lot of sun. However I do not get thyroid suppression symptoms from this much A, on the contrary I get a thyroid boost. I am considering sticking with close to 100000 iu a day for a month and then tapering off to 5000 based on a few studies but I wanna know more about what I'm doing before I proceed.
