1. Gastrointestinal symptoms

As much as we strive to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D in our bodies, there is a tiny possibility that we might experience some side effects if we take too much of it. Speaking of that, the main aftereffect related to this mineral is excessive calcium in the blood.

When your blood contains more calcium than it’s supposed to, it can actually damage your bones, develop kidney stones, and even hinder the way your brain and heart function. This is known as hypercalcemia, and it’s considered to be a result of hyperparathyroid glands.

Some of the most popular symptoms of this health condition are:

  • vomit;
  • constipation;
  • loss of appetite;
  • nausea;
  • diarrhea.

Of course, not all the people who got infected with hypercalcemia experienced identical symptoms. Some only had stomach pain, others experienced weight loss and nausea, and others experienced constipation or elevated blood levels. In some patients, the side effects usually disappear after they stop taking vitamin D supplements.

  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 ????
