4. Mental status issue

Another strong side effect that is linked to hypercalcemia is altered mental status. People who consumed a lot more vitamin D than they were supposed to experienced several symptoms, such as depression, confusion, and even psychosis. And that’s not all. People who were in a more severe state of poisoning entered into a coma.

According to a case report from 2021, a 64-year-old man didn’t understand the medical instruction he received from the healthcare provider, and he unintentionally took 200,000 IU of this nutrient per day. Besides other harsh symptoms that are related to hypercalcemia, the patient showed altered mental status.

Even though the man remained confused and agitated for the first 10 days he was in the hospital, the side effects slowly got better as his calcium levels dropped. It took almost 3 weeks for his calcium levels to get back to normal, so make sure that you don’t take more vitamins than doctors tell you to.

  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.
