We examined a case of a 4-year-old boy who experienced severe bone pain and related symptoms after taking high doses of vitamin A for three months. Despite typical liver-related complications usually associated with vitamin A toxicity, he presented with significant musculoskeletal issues and skin changes. Following the discontinuation of vitamin A, the boy showed a remarkable recovery within two months. This case highlights that excessive vitamin A intake can lead to serious bone pain and other health problems, though he did not develop liver disease as expected.

We explored the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) when combined with dexamethasone and alpha-interferon in treating advanced multiple myeloma. Out of 10 treated patients, eight completed the regimen.
Notably, three experienced a stable plateau phase with improvement in their overall performance and relief from bone pain. However, only two showed a lasting partial response, while three patients did not improve.
Thus, while there was some positive impact on bone pain, further research is needed to confirm these findings and assess ATRA's full potential.

Reduced bone pain

It may be beneficial for the gastric lining. My stomach is sensitive, and I experience discomfort when drinking green or oolong tea, and I cannot take headache medication alongside Mucosta. However, the late-waking and sleeping issues have vanished, and my bone pain has almost disappeared. I wish I had started this sooner. Additionally, I've noticed a significant reduction in the use of eye drops, with no rust on my contacts.

Be cautious with vitamin A as excessive intake can lead to serious side effects like bone pain, liver damage, and headaches. Long-term use of over 10,000 mcg daily can be harmful. If pregnant or planning to conceive, consult your doctor due to the risk of birth defects associated with excess vitamin A. Careful management of supplements, considering interactions with other vitamins, is crucial for avoiding adverse effects.

Vitamin A acts as an antioxidant that supports the immune system, benefits bone tissue, the reproductive system, vision, and skin. It reduces TSH synthesis in the pituitary gland while enhancing iodine absorption by the thyroid, which is vital in treating hypothyroidism, particularly in relation to bone pain. It is essential not to exceed 3000 IU per day if you smoke. Take vitamins to look good and feel healthy!
