3. Elevated blood calcium levels
One of the most important roles vitamin D has is to absorb the calcium from the food you consume. However, if there’s too much of it, it can cause severe side effects. Some of them include:
- excessive urination;
- digestive distress;
- stomach pain;
- hallucination;
- dehydration;
- fatigue;
- high blood pressure;
- kidney failure;
- dizziness;
- confusion;
- kidney stones;
- kidney injury;
- heart abnormalities.
According to several health care providers, the normal range of blood calcium should be between 8.5 and 10.8 mg/dL. People who got poisoned by vitamin D took megadoses of it for longer periods of time. A woman, for instance, took an average of 130,000 IU of vitamin D daily for over a year and arrived at the hospital with symptoms of hypercalcemia. This diagnosis can get dangerous pretty fast, and it shouldn’t be neglected.

I tbink its a Boron mineral deficiency ..not a Vitamin D3 deficiency …..you could take 50,000iu of D3 = One Mg of D3 and it might be a very toxic amount of Rat Poision …..Taking 10 mgs of Boron shohld increase D3 and also heal 100 other illnesses too …now there might be a good reason totake Boron instead
I do both. hmmm
Boron is taken by bodybuilders to strengthen bones. 10mg per day.
I inadvertently was taking too much D3, ended up with heart ‘irregularities’.
Cardiologist pointed out that I was OD’ing on D3. After I dialed it back the problem went away.
If you take 5000 IU D3 a day before a blood sugar test the results are masked and the test need to be redone to read
How much D3 is recommended?
I take 10,000 IU’s daily. My routine Lipid and Metobolic bloodwork tests have not shown any concerning “effect”.
Where is this information available?
Everything is wrong now!!! Everything that has been used so far is no longer good!! Only their vaccines are good, isn t so ????
RJ the same thing happened to me heart irregularities from high doses of D3
Vitamin D should not be taken without magnesium. Vitamin D uses magnesium to make the active form of vitamin D in the liver, thus depleting magnesium if you are not taking it. A lack of magnesium can cause serious heart arrhythmia. I take 2 gms a day in divided doses. Magnesium can cause gut issues so titarate up to that dose and dose accordingly.
Doctors are amazingly ignorant on this subject, and by the way the routine lab magnesium test is inaccurate. It does not measure magnesium levels in the cells.
I have taken over 20 k a day for years without problems.
Doctors get zero nutrition schooling. Just a fyi.
I take 6000 units of D3 and my blood work came back within the middle/normal range for D3. It is important to get blood work don and not guess.
What kind of irregularities?
I take 25mcg(1,000 IU) Is that to much to take?
