The book begins by detailing the roles of vitamin A in the body and the forms it exists in.
It progresses to acute and chronic toxicity, outlining symptoms ranging from skin irritation to liver damage.

The book emphasizes practical strategies for maintaining safe vitamin A levels through dietary recommendations and supplementation guidelines, drawing from clinical studies and epidemiological research.
