Vitamin A and Allergies
Ann Allergy 10:703-4,
1952 A dose of 25,000-200,000 IU daily
of Vitamin A palmitate was given to 10 children with eczema for 3-21 months. 3
showed some improvement and 6 showed marked improvement. These are extremely
high doses, and it is not recommended for people to take this much without
professional supervision. Vitamin A can be toxic in high doses. Also, in
treating eczema, other factors may come into play; making these high doses
unnecessary. For example, serum
copper is high in eczema patients, this may indicate a need for zinc (which
mobilizes vitamin A). A combination of vitamin A and zinc may work and make
lower doses of vitamin A effective.
