    Perhaps you had an imbalance of vitamin a. Plant based vitamin a (beta carotene) is safe and can’t really be overdosed. Plant based diets tend to have more vitamin e in them as well, and vitamin e sort of counteracts vitamin a.

      The sheer amount of changes that occur on a plant-based diet are too numerous for me to be able to pinpoint any specific thing. It wouldn’t surprise me if I do get more vitamin a these days, as well as quite a few other important micronutrients that I may or may not have been low on.

      And that’s not even getting into the vast topic of phytonutrients.
