“…A larger similar study (Anderson, 1968) also failed to show a protective effect of Vitamin A given orally. As there is no index "Which can measure the effect of ultra-violet radiation on the skin, it is extremely difficult to assess whether any factor does reduce sun burning.…”

“…In a double blind study on volunteers who exposed themselves to strong Australian sunshine, Anderson (1968) was nnable to show any protective action from the prior administration of Vitamin A. Also, no effect on the minimal erythema dose from an artificial source of ultra-violet light could be demonstrated in a cross over double blind study.…”

Summary Experiments are described which fail to demonstrate that oral Vitamin A protects from the burning effects of the sun. Vitamin A tablets taken in the dosage advised for sun‐protection do raise the level of Vitamin A in the serum. There was no evidence that sun exposure causes a fall in serum Vitamin A, although there was a suggestion that if the serum level is raised by administration of the vitamin there will be a fall on sun exposure. This last finding requires further study.
