Tropicana Multivit Boost drink

[aggiemay24]

Hi there,

I just bought a Tropicana Multivit Boost drink and drank most of it. Whilst taking a pause from drinking, I read the back and it contains 459mg of vitamin A.

I have drunk most of the bottle and am now freaking out. I am TTC and 3dpo.

I have avoided vitamin A until now.

Does anyone know if this is safe to drink?

Thanks
Lizzie

That's about the same amount as in a large carrot. It's fine.

It's not mg, it's µg!

It says mg on the label...

It says 153mg per 100ml and there is 300ml in the bottle, so 459mg total.

A carrot is only 5000mcg (5mg) apparently

I was looking at this
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/tropicana-multivitamins-300ml

Mg is milligrams and μg or mcg is micrograms, (1000 times smaller).

I assume they've mislabelled it, which is pretty appalling.

Thank you 😊 😊 😊 😊 that's such a relief. I was so panicked it was so high. It is less than a big carrot then, as the previous poster said. I'm going to contact Tropicana as I've been panicking and crying about it, since swigging back the juice.

Thank you xx

I would definitely point it out to them and get them to confirm it's micrograms! Sorry you were worried.
You might want to point out to them that the current advice is no more than 1.5mg daily (for anyone) so it's not just preggos that might be concerned!

Other supermarket websites stocking this also have it as micrograms.

Hi,

I’m 27+5 and had one of these drinks (300ml) by accident this morning. I’ve had the same panic reading the ingredients. Did Tropicana get back to you to confirm that it is mislabelled?

If it isn’t mislabelled and I have had too much Vitamin A, does anyone have any advice as to what I can or should do about it?

Thank you ❤️

@aggiemay24 just tagging OP as I'm also interested in their response!

Did anyone get a response to this? Just drank half the bottle and am now also panicking!!!
