CNM Nutrition. Vitamins & Minerals Chart NB.Excess: Beta-carotene considered a safe sourceof vitamin A as body only converts what itneeds into vitamin A and safely excretes anyexcess.Vitamin A excess can cause nausea, vomiting,skin rashes, dizziness even coma or death.Supports immunesystem, promotesabsorption ofcalcium andphosphorus, bonehealth. (It is afat-soluble steroidhormone).Deficiency D: Poor bone and tooth formation,Rickets in children, tooth decay in childrenand adults, brittle bones, osteoporosis, gumproblems, poor immunity, fatigue, cramping.Symmetric low back pain, muscle aches andpain. Osteomalacia in adults.

Not recommended source ofvitamin D as not usually identified asD2 or D3, the latter being the preferredfortification. Instead obtain from sunshineand natural foods.Both vitamin D2 and D3 are converted toCalcifediol (calcidiol) in the liver whichcirculates in the blood.Synthetic Beta carotene and vitamin A in supplementalform should be avoided.Nature-derived vitamin A is from animal sources and Betacarotene is from plant sourcesLiver & vitamin A supplements are recommended to avoidin pregnancy due to being toxic in high levels and cancause birth defects.Dietary D2 high in Chlorella (dried single cell fresh wateralgae).Sunshine forms vitamin D2 in plants and mushroomswhen UVB light leads to formation of D2 from ergosterol acompound in plant oils.Vitamin D2 more sensitive than D3 to degradation byhumidity and temperature.D3 only available from animal sources. (Vegan D3supplements made from lichen and mushrooms).Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin as it is producedin the skin when exposed to sunshine. UltravioletB (UVB) radiation creates formation of D3 from7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin.
