All the research is making my head hurt. lol I have been searching to find answers, but haven't found what I'm looking for.
My kids take a multi that has 2500iu of Vit A (5000iu for 2 tablets, which is what I WAS giving my 5 year old.) They were also taking CLO

(question about the amount of vit a-the bottle I have says 451-1127, but on the supp fact sheet on the net it says 451. Why is there a range on my bottle instead of an exact amount? The dosage is 1/2 tsp, not a range.)
I've been trying to read up on CLO and I've read that some aren't the 'good' stuff. Is this one ok? Or should I go with something else? I saw somewhere on here that http://www.vitapal.com/v-twinlab-cod...ebase_campaign was mentioned. Is this a better one or should I go for something different altogether?
Now, the vit A. I can't seem to find anywhere how much is too much. My kids are 2, 3.5 and 5. They're getting some from their multi. Is it ok to give them CLO that has it in it too? Some people I know aren't even giving CLO because of the vit A. Is that reasonable or is it ok to give?
I just ordered some vit D drops to up their dosage. I hope these are ok

I got the 200iu for the kids (will probably be giving 3 drops, so 600iu) and the 1000 for my husband and I (will probably be taking 2 drops, so 2000iu).
I haven't been tested, but am going to look into it to see if my insurance company covers it. But do these look like reasonable doses? Speaking of the test, what do I need to ask for if I go to the doctor? I was reading somewhere that some doctor's order the wrong test and then get the results back and they are fine but that's because they were testing the right thing. I don't know all the terminology, so I can't remember what all of it was.
Can someone please help me with this? It's so hard (and confusing sometimes) to figure all of this out.
One more thing...do I need to cut back on the vitamin D in the summer or should we take the same amount year round?
Thank you!!!
