I'm taking vitamin A for acne, is it better to take the vitamins all at once or spread it throughout the day.
I'm taking 100,000 iu a day, I know about the risks and will stop in a month. Also what is the best time in the day to take it like 2 pm or it doesn't make a difference.
I take 13 pills, each 8,000 iu total 104,000

THAT'S TOO MUCH!!!
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A, you can poison your liver if you take more than 15,000 IU a day.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is not water soluble. The excess does not get "flushed away", it gets stored in your fat cells, and can build up to toxic levels over time.
You say you "know the risks" but really, is risking your liver worth it??
