Regarding the high vitamin A: "Unlike preformed vitamin A, beta-carotene is not known to be teratogenic or lead to reproductive toxicity [1]. And even large supplemental doses (20–30 mg/day) of beta-carotene or diets with high levels of carotenoid-rich food for long periods are not associated with toxicity." http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminA-HealthProfessional/

The vitamin A in the Amazing Grass Green Superfood and some (half?) of the vitamin A in the GNC Mega Men Sport is beta-carotene. When accounting for this, the amount of "preformed" (i.e. unnatural) vitamin A is well below the 10,000 IU upper intake level.
