Types of vitamin A

It is “largely impossible” for provitamin carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, to cause toxicity, as their conversion to retinol is highly regulated.[19] No vitamin A toxicity has ever been reported from ingestion of excessive amounts.[22] Overconsumption of beta-carotene can only cause carotenosis, a harmless and reversible cosmetic condition in which the skin turns orange.
