HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin A 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) by Superior Source

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin A at 3,000 mcg RAE (which equals 10,000 IU) and stevia leaf extract. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin your body needs for vision, immune function, and skin health.

Stevia is a plant-derived sweetener and flavoring ingredient. The tablet also contains lactose and acacia gum as inactive ingredients (fillers and binders).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Eye and vision health, skin health, immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Acne, Aging skin, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Cataracts, Child development, Corneal abrasion — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin A is rated "Possibly Effective" for Aging skin (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin A is rated "Possibly Effective" for Night vision.
  • Also on file: Vitamin A is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Melanoma.

Vitamin A is effective for preventing and treating vitamin A deficiency. The data also shows it's possibly effective for oral leukoplakia (a precancerous mouth condition), aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a lung condition in premature infants).

Stevia's effectiveness for diabetes, high blood pressure, and weight loss is not yet established in the evidence we hold—the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stevia Vitamin A

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin A at this dose (10,000 IU) is generally well tolerated, but it's important to know that vitamin A builds up in your body over time, and high doses can become toxic. The serious adverse effects are rare but real: at very high doses, vitamin A can cause pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure in the skull), liver damage, headache, blurred vision, and in extreme cases, coma.

Stevia appears generally well tolerated orally, with minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness that often resolve within the first week. Allergic reactions to stevia are rare.

For pregnancy: vitamin A at this dose is likely safe, but high-dose vitamin A supplements are possibly unsafe in pregnancy because they may cause birth defects—if you're pregnant or planning pregnancy, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this. For breastfeeding, safety data on stevia at supplement doses isn't on file, and vitamin A safety in breastfeeding is not rated in our data—discuss this with your healthcare provider if breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Stevia, Vitamin A.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 618 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this, check if you're on any retinoid medications (isotretinoin, tretinoin, adapalene, etc.)—that's a Major interaction. Also double-check if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline), drugs that stress your liver, lithium, blood pressure medications, or diabetes medications—all of these have documented Moderate or Minor interactions with the vitamin A in this product.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product makes sense for someone with a documented vitamin A deficiency or for support of skin and immune function at a standard dose. If you take retinoids (acne or skin medications), blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics, lithium, or blood pressure or diabetes drugs, you need to check this with your pharmacist or doctor first—the interactions are real.

At 10,000 IU daily, this dose is at the upper limit for safe long-term use in adults, so don't exceed the label dose and avoid combining it with other vitamin A supplements.

Vitamin A4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Vitamin A full monograph & interactions

Stevia leaf extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Vitamin A 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) by Superior Source: Common Questions

Does Vitamin A 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) by Superior Source interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin A 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) has a known interaction with 617 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin A 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this dose of vitamin A safe to take every day long-term?
At 10,000 IU daily, you're at the tolerable upper limit for safe long-term use in adults. Vitamin A builds up in your body, so sticking to the label dose and not combining it with other vitamin A sources is important. If you're taking it for an extended period, check in with your pharmacist or doctor to make sure it's right for you.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
Vitamin A at this dose is likely safe in pregnancy. However, high-dose vitamin A supplements may cause birth defects, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is appropriate for you before taking it while pregnant.
What does the stevia in here do?
Stevia leaf extract is a plant-based sweetener and flavoring. It's not an active ingredient for any health condition—it's used to taste the tablet. At food and supplement amounts, purified stevia is generally recognized as safe, though supplement doses are less well studied than typical food amounts.
Will this help my skin?
Vitamin A is possibly effective for aging skin based on the evidence we have. Results vary, and it typically takes consistent use over time to see benefits. If you have skin concerns, talk with your doctor or dermatologist about what dose and form might work best for you.
What side effects might I get from stevia?
Stevia appears well tolerated overall. Minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness can happen, but they usually go away after the first week of use. Allergic reactions are rare.
Can I take this with my acne medication?
If your acne medication is a retinoid (like isotretinoin, tretinoin, or adapalene), do not take this supplement without talking to your prescriber first. Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives, and combining them with a vitamin A supplement can cause dangerous, toxic levels of vitamin A in your body.
