I was the one who posted the question about Airborne. I also asked Dr Hale
and this was his response:
Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of data on the transfer of vitamin A into
human milk, although we have numerous papers noting that human milk
generally contains 1-2 IU/cc. A dose of 5000 units per day is the maximum
recommended for adults, other than for the treatment of various syndromes. A
dose of 25,000 units per days would simply be too much for other than
therapeutic purposes.
You are correct, doses as high as 25,000 IU/day have been noted to increase
the risk of fetal defects.
Moderation with Vitamin A is really important, most importantly when you are
pregnant and breastfeeding.
