RDA guidelines are the minimum amount required to avoid a deficiency.
There are not really optimal amounts, or even amounts required for good
health - just minimums for avoided deficiency related diseases (i.e.,
rickets, scurvy, etc.).

Why don't you do an internet search on "Vitamin A Toxicity" and post the
actually max level.  (I would do it, but I don't have internet access
here - just email.)
