Are Vitamin Dangerous For Paitentis With Hemochromotosis?

Hi there! I am a 49 year old female with hemochromotosis. I know I cannot consume Vitamin C with meals and must wait for 4 hours to consume it but I am now hearing that you should not take Vitamin A as it can damage your liver. Is this the case?
