We conducted a study to evaluate if vitamin A could improve outcomes for children hospitalized with measles in a high-income country. We followed 108 children at a hospital in Southern Italy, comparing those who received vitamin A to a control group. Unfortunately, we found no meaningful differences in fever duration, hospitalization length, or complication rates between the two groups. Ultimately, our results suggest that vitamin A supplementation does not alter the course of measles in these cases.

We explored how Nepal tackled a measles outbreak amidst the COVID-19 crisis by implementing a targeted vaccination campaign. From over 220 confirmed measles cases, a robust outbreak response was needed. The National Immunization Program coordinated measles immunization and provided vitamin A to affected populations, achieving a remarkable 97% vaccination coverage.
After the campaign, measles incidence plummeted by 98%. This response highlighted the critical role of careful planning, data-driven decision-making, and collaboration with international partners, which allowed for successful vaccination without jeopardizing ongoing health initiatives.

We assessed the effects of vitamin A supplementation on reducing illness and death in children aged six months to five years. Analyzing data from 47 studies involving over 1.2 million children, we found that while vitamin A significantly reduced overall mortality and incidents of diarrhoea, it did not show a notable impact on measles mortality.
There was a moderate reduction in measles incidence, but we need to note that the evidence regarding death from measles was inconclusive. Overall, vitamin A supplementation remains a valuable tool for improving child health, but its effect specifically on measles is unclear.

Helps with measles! I ordered this after receiving recommendations for nursing during measles. In the initial two days of illness, children under seven should receive 40,000 IU, while those over need 60,000 IU, followed by a daily dose of 25,000 IU. The retinol form is the most easily absorbed and effective!

Vitamin A supplementation cost-effectiveness questioned
We explored the effectiveness of Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in reducing measles-related mortality among children in Nigeria, Kenya, and Burkina Faso. Using a detailed simulation model, we calculated the costs and health benefits of increasing VAS coverage from 2019 to 2023.
While our results showed some reduction in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), the cost-effectiveness ratios ranged widely—ranging from $220 to $860 per DALY averted. Ultimately, it appears VAS may not be as cost-effective as previously thought, prompting experts to recommend alternative interventions like improved food fortification and vaccination coverage.

Eases measles symptoms
This is the number one help for measles and more. I administered it to my children, and they experienced the illness quite easily.
7.5
Strengthens immunity
An excellent product! I provide it to my children in case of illness, and it even helps with measles. It's useful against infections and viruses, strengthening immunity. When combined with vitamins E, D3, and Omega-3, the complex effect is quicker. I also use it preventatively when healthy.
7.5
Recommended during outbreaks
Vitamin A is incredibly useful for our body, especially in large doses. Currently, with a measles outbreak, all integrative doctors advise high doses of vitamin A in their treatment regimens, even for children. It contains vital nutrients, supports eye health, and strengthens the immune system. I highly recommend it!
