Doctor, Why Isn’t My Vitamin A Supplement Working???

Last updated on April 13th, 2026 at 09:50 am

Quick Answer: Vitamin A may not work effectively if absorption is impaired, often due to low fat intake, digestive issues, or nutrient imbalances.

I asked MY A.I. Doctor the following question:

“According to my [mran_device], my Vitamin A reading stays low even though I take a supplement, I take cod liver oil, and eat carrots. Is absorbability the issue? What can I do to make the Vitamin A “stick?”

Here’s what A.I. Doctor “Brian” said:

Spoiler alert: Yes, I was, in fact, taking Cod Liver Oil capsules after my eye surgery. Yeah, I know it’s not vegan!
