Preparing carrot juice is simple and quick. You need one to two medium-sized carrots.
- Wash and chop the carrots and add them to a blender.

You might be wondering about the dosage. Carrot juice is exceptionally rich in vitamin A. The upper limit for vitamin A is 10,000 IU.
Taking preformed vitamin A, usually in the form of supplements, can be harmful if you exceed the recommended dose. Intake of carrot juice has not been found to cause such issues – but please check with your doctor.
All this may make carrot juice seem like an absolute fountain of health. Well, it could be close to that. But it does have a side effect you must be wary of.
