I would hypothesize that the most probable cause of this issue is an excessive intake of Retinol/Vitamin A. It's important to consider that she had been consuming an unknown quantity of Retinol and/or Vitamin A for ten months, potentially in combination with other supplements containing these substances. This can significantly increase the risk of adverse effects.

Vitamin A has a half-life of up to 15 days and, as a fat-soluble vitamin, it accumulates in the body's fat stores and liver. In contrast, water-soluble vitamins like the B-complex are easily excreted by the kidneys, which can cause urine to appear neon yellow shortly after ingestion. The storage of fat-soluble vitamins in the liver can lead to an overload, particularly in individuals with lower body fat, such as the young woman in question.

It's important to note that having a higher BMI doesn't necessarily protect against the toxic effects of excessive fat-soluble vitamin intake. Therefore, it's essential to maintain a balanced intake of these vitamins to avoid potential health complications.

In summary, the excessive consumption of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly in individuals with low BMI, can rapidly lead to Hypervitaminosis. It is crucial to carefully manage the intake of these vitamins to maintain optimal health.

EDIT: Did some digging and found out it's a "$50 supplement from Alani Nu which narrows it down to their Balance Powder and Super Greens powder. Looking at the ingredients the Balance Powder powder has 120 mcg of chromium O.O. Chromium is a mineral and has adverse effects when taken in large doses (liver dysfunction is one the listed symptoms). The standard recommendation is 29 mcg for women. Why a supplement company decided to give 4 time the recommended daily allowance of a mineral that can be toxic in high doses is beyond me but it's the first time I've run across a supplement company promoting absolutely insane levels of a mineral/vitamin that is toxic at high doses.

Pretty sure she was megadosing with Vitamin A. It's a common medicine for acne. Although usually it requires a prescription and has to be done under the supervision of a doctor for this exact reason; it has a bunch of nasty side effects, some people try to go the cheap way and just megadose with vitamin A (it's highly discouraged by doctors and not because they want to make a buck).

Why automatically blame a supplement? You didn't state what it was that she was taking in the first place, which is suspicious. What else may she have taken; for example, a prescribed antibiotic, which may in fact cause acute liver failure in some people, or even something as easily obtained as Tylenol, aspirin, etc.? True, the warning to be mindful of which supplements you take, and to let your doctor know what you're taking; especially prior to surgical procedures, is appropriate. Though I don't think it is fair to automatically blame some supplement, which you never disclosed, and fear monger like this. I think that doctors need to start admitting to their patients that indeed, their prescribed medications, whatever they may be, can and do cause serious, even fatal reactions in people. Don't make fools of your patients, and tell them that they're essentially crazy, when they come in with very real, serious reactions to a prescription. I'm one person that this has happened to, and the medical provider literally said to my face that, "the drug wouldn't do that!" Luckily, my father, who was a very good medical doctor, confirmed that it WAS the prescribed drug at fault, and told me to immediately stop taking it upon seeing the reaction that it was inflicting upon my body. Sadly, I could trust my father, whom was a good, caring doctor, but I can't trust the majority of doctors I've seen in recent years. They don't seem to care one iota, are smug, and refuse to listen to patient complaints. I'm truly disgusted.

Only doctors who are caring and have great knowlwdege about physiology believe. And this is not the only medicine that had caused me damage. Antibiotics too for the amoebiasis. So eat safer.

They even told me to go to the psychiatrist because “I was making it all up” and I “seemed anxious”. Well of course I was anxious of going to doctor after doctor asking for help and all of them gaslighted me.

Because I was dealing with really bad acne and was taking vitamin D, E, A and zinc to clear my acne, my guess is that because she was taking supplements it could have been these. What I can say is that I was taking them all at the same time and when I did I was feeling a little bit disoriented so I stopped them for a few days and then just spread them out throughout the day, then I would take them every other day. I guess my thought was that doing it this way would give my liver time to excrete the supplements and not cause issues. And then I was fine. I would not recommend taking it the way I start it I would spread them out throughout the day even every other day. I was also taking vitamin C. Which should have not cause any issues but again I spread out all of them. My acne cleared btw.

What I don't understand is I've never met a doctor that actually looked at all my meds and supplements to make sure that all of them were fine together lol (been put on meds so many times that interacted with my other supplements or meds like wtf they were playin like they were trying to kill me lmao). And they never checked if I genetically would react negatively to meds (which shocker I do have genetic predispositions that cause me to react negatively to meds lol). So the whole, "talk to your doctor" thing is hilarious to me. Just look it up online lol. You can get straight answers super fast by just googling drug interactions. Make sure it isn't just a quick google search though since it's important to get the whole picture and also do some genetic testing to see what meds would work best for you and which others wouldn't. They offer some DNA tests online for specifically that. And one more thing, talk to a pharmacist if you want to talk to someone who actually knows anything about pharmaceuticals lol. Talking to a doctor about pharmaceuticals is hilarious honestly... they are heavily influenced by pharmaceutical companies to prescribe meds. Pharmacists typically don't have the same incentives to push pills down your throat. In fact their incentive is much more to help than a doctors is. I trust pharmacists so much more than medical docs and psychiatrists when it comes to understanding medications more thoroughly.

The sad reality is that most docs don't even ask you if you are taking any supplements and/or look to see how they would react with any meds you are taking. Also, most docs just prescribe meds like they are candy not even worrying about the possible side effects. My dad had heart surgery to replace a valve. After the surgery, they had him on 5 different meds. He was SOOOO dizzy he could not even get out of the chair. What kind of life is that ?!?!? I went through all his meds and read the possible side effects and low and behold, one that he was on had a "rare" side effect of extreme dizziness. When I called his doc to see if he could be taken off this med or if there was an alternative...he was like...that probably isn't the reason he's dizzy..HUH? OK but can he stop taking this med....yes the doc said...and guess what...when we took him off the med, he stopped being dizzy and was able to enjoy life his life again.
