I can see where this is a real problem and alot of it stems from your own MD testing. They’ve gotten on the band wagon about ‘low’ D but have no clue that you need sufficient magnesium in order to get your D levels up. I’ve known alot of people that keep increasing and increasing because they test low but they don’t supplement with mag (and certainly not the right form) and so they stay perennially low.
Same applies to calcium; your joints, tissues and organs will calcify if you’re low in mag.
Ya. Take the vaccine instead because one guy can’t read directions on a vitamin bottle. Because no doctor will advise on how to properly prevent Covid
Geeze why.
Yeah, popping 20 pills a day of anything is a bad idea.
“This case report further highlights the potential toxicity of supplements that are largely considered safe until taken in unsafe amounts or in unsafe combinations,”
That’s true of just about everything that is largely considered safe; isn’t it? Even water and oxygen have to be consumed in moderation.
If you want to exceed RDA for a vitamin, do B or C.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
So does Vitamin D3. Big time!
Drinking parsley juice helps with excess vitamin d.
“...supplements every day containing: vitamin D 50,000 mg—the daily requirement is 600 mg or 400 IU...”
The writer apparently didn’t check units of vitamin D at all. 1 microgram is 40 IU, so 50,000 milligrams would be two billion IU. 600 milligrams would be 24 million IU, not 400. Those are pretty high doses indeed.
Lone case, big write up. Why? Because government is in process of wanting to regulate every supplement you take- no free will, no self choice, no self care
This guy was a hot mess before overdosing on vitamins
15 min in the sun daily is sufficient
Take copper with your vitamin D
I stopped after reading that he was taking D 50,000 mg.
That’s way out of range for most people most of the time.
Never mind that the guy was dying anyway.
“The man had had various underlying health issues, including tuberculosis, bacterial meningitis, an inner ear tumor (left vestibular schwannoma), which had resulted in deafness in that ear, a build-up of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus), and chronic sinusitis.”
Thanks.

Hold on now!
Dude lost 28 pounds? I’m thinking, put up with a little cramping….
“Doctors Warn of Vitamin D Supplement “Overdosing” – Man Hospitalized After Losing 28 Pounds”
That’s odd. The word “idiot” was not used once in the entire article.
I’ll stick with only eating meat & drinking water. Supplements not required!
There are people on this forum who have said it is impossible to take too much vitamin D - one post said “you can take a whole bottle at once and it can’t harm you!”
Only if your body has a difficult time absorbing vitamin D should you take more than 5000 IU per day as a supplement. That is something to talk about with your doctor and with proper labs.
