had my vitamin A tested and it's 32..i know that's low and it hasn't gotten any lower since my 1 month pre op blood work. i have vit A in my multi but i don't think it's much. pre op my vitamin A was normal. now it's low and I don't know how much I should take per day to get it back up. my vitamin D was very low down to 26, one month i took 50,000 IU daily and it jumped up to 120 so i'm afraid to take a HIGH dose of vitamin A since my D went up so quick and my next labs won't be for 2 months. does anyone have any recommendations on how much A i should take daily

 This is what I take.  It is 25,000IU and it's the kind we need.

how often do you take it and what was your vitamin A before you took it, and now?

 Mine wasn't too bad.  It was 0.51.  The range is 0.30 to 1.20.  I want it at the higher end.  I take it daily.  I will get my labs run next month and find out where I am at now.
