Dr. Al Sears wrote in a newsletter that “Synthetic, lab-created, vitamin A can build up to toxic levels and damage your liver. They’re sold as retinyl palmitate and they’re made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid.” Is he correct that retinyl palmitate-containing supplements should be avoided?

Some vitamin A supplements on the market are plant-based forms, like beta-carotene, but most rely on retinyl palmitate, made by combining an ester of retinol with synthesized palmitic acid. Is using retinyl palmitate supplementation to obtain a healthy level of vitamin A both safe and effective, or being a synthetic substance, does it have limitations or toxicity compared to ingesting Vitamin A-rich foods?

A viewer asks: “Am I getting enough retinol in my diet by eating 2 eggs, twice per week? Do I need to eat 2 eggs daily to boost my intake of retinol to better support my health, especially with regard to restoring muscle mass?”

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is widely used in respiratory medicine, with a maximum licensed dose in chronic use of 600 mg/day, although use of up to 3,000 mg/day has been reported to be safe. The supplement studies combining Glycine with NAC (GlyNAC) have used doses of 100 mg/kg/day of each supplement. Thus, a 150-pound person (68 kg) would be taking about 6,800 mg of Glycine and 6,800 mg of NAC. Are these doses safe to recommend for daily intake, as long-term safety has not been established yet at these levels of exposure?

A viewer asks about a YouTube video: “I ran across this dentist, who after 40 years has never had a cleaning because she uses and promotes a protocol involving xylitol, which is sugar from birch trees. She claims that correct use of xylitol eliminates the unhealthy mutans streptococcus bacteria in the mouth and keeps only the good ones, thus preventing cavities and even reversing issues and restoring enamel to its ideal hardened state. She gets regular dental checkups and following this protocol she always comes away with confirmation of excellent oral health, including gums and enamel. Could you ask Creator about this?” Is this a safe and effective dental hygiene strategy? Is she being manipulated to convince people to put their dental health at risk? What is most important for us to know?

Dr. Al Sears has announced a new supplement called Myco Max, for improving cognitive function in as little as one hour, which contains Lion’s Mane, known to trigger nerve growth factor in nerve tissue, and Cordyceps, which has been shown to enhance ATP production for greater cellular energy. The supplement also includes four adaptogens for reducing stress effects: Gotu Kola– because it’s a cerebral tonic that improves circulation to the brain; Tribulus terrestris– because it has neuroprotective and antioxidant mechanisms that enhance memory, protect neurons, and improve neurotransmission; Salvia officinalis– because it supports memory, acetylcholine preservation, and neuroprotection. It helps prevent age-related cognitive decline by supporting brain energy metabolism; and Rhodiola Rosea– because it helps the body handle stress and fatigue by balancing cortisol and increasing cellular energy (ATP). It enhances endurance, focus, and emotional resilience by improving oxygen use and neurotransmitter balance. You recently ranked the Primal Force supplement, Focus IQ, to be superior as a recommendation for enhancing brain health and cognitive performance, especially focus, concentration, and memory recall as compared to Advanced Memory Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals. How would Myco Max rank among these other two brain supplements?

A viewer asks: “Being aware of Creator’s previous answers on Vitamin D3 supplementation I was shocked to discover a paper from 2014 “A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D”. The paper claims that the Recommended Daily Allowance advocated by the Institute of Medicine for Vitamin D was incorrectly calculated! In fact, analyzing the data correctly, nearly 9000 IUs per day are required to achieve target levels (600 IU per day is the USA recommended level). I was struck by how closely the 9000 IU figure matched Creator’s “daily doses of 5,000 to 10,000 IU vitamin D3 will rarely be harmful.” What is Creator’s perspective on this “miscalculation” coming to light?”

A British group reported recently that administration of vitamin D2, which is converted to vitamin D3 by the body, may be disadvantageous. A review of random controlled trials showed that taking vitamin D2 can lead to a decrease in vitamin D3 levels, the more active form generated by sunlight exposure. The research indicates that D2 supplementation may not only be less effective, but can also lead to lower concentrations of D3 in the circulation. [Emily I G Brown, et al. Effect of Vitamin D2 Supplementation on 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutr Rev, 2025 Sep 18:nuaf166.doi: 10.1093/nutrit/nuaf166]. Is this an accurate and meaningful assessment? What is most important for us to know?

In reviewing the ingredients of Primal X Plus, a supplement promoted by Dr. Al Sears and the supplier, Primal Force, and said to be an effective mix of 35 ingredients for stimulating and optimizing stem cell function, it seems to offer many basic vitamins, minerals, and tissue constituents but nothing particularly exotic. Is this something unique, or is the marketing emphasis on scientific breakthroughs in better understanding the origins and function of stem cells just detailing benefits of broad spectrum nutraceutical coverage that likely occurs with many supplements, singly and in combination?
