2. Kidney complications

As we’ve previously mentioned, there are more severe cases when too much of this mineral can lead to kidney injury and even kidney failure. That’s because it can result in high calcium levels, which can promote water loss through excessive urination and kidney calcification.

In addition to that, kidney blood vessel constriction brought on by hypercalcemia might result in diminished kidney function.  In fact, several studies have noted mild to severe renal damage in those who experience intoxication with this nutrient.

It’s interesting to note that people with renal illness who are vitamin D deficient can experience serious difficulties and damage to their kidneys.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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?

  4. Everything is wrong now!!! Everything that has been used so far is no longer good!! Only their vaccines are good, isn t so ????

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
