that’s right. Avoid Cod Liver oil because, although it does contain a lot of vitamin d, it also has a lot of Vitamin A in the dangerous form (retinol) that de-activates your vitamin D.
There have been some studies that seemed to show too much vitamin D was bad for you, but a closer look at those studies proved that ONLY those who supplemented their D (such as in the Scandinavian countries with Cod Liver Oil) were the ones that had negative outcomes.
Instead of quizzing everyone else how much vitamin D3 you need, just take daily whatever you feel is a good amount, and get your blood tested a month later. You will probably learn you could and should have taken 2x or 3x as much to get your blood up to summer time levels.

Another good vitamin that also help reverse heart disease is vitamin K2

Of course, changing diet, losing 60+ lbs and exercising are big factors as well.
