Loss of bone density
Calcium is a strong requirement for solid bones. So, considering this vitamin supports calcium being absorbed into the body, this vitamin D side effect can seem a little odd.
It seems even more bizarre to assess bone loss as a side effect when we’ve already talked about the calcium levels being too high. Well, the truth is that too much vitamin D can negatively affect your bones. It can mean there isn’t enough vitamin K.
This vitamin, especially vitamin K2, helps hold calcium levels out of one’s blood and place it on the bones. So, not only is vitamin D required, but vitamin K2 is vital to get the calcium to the correct place.
There’s no point in having a lot of calcium absorbed into the body if it just ends up in the blood instead of your bones. Since the bones aren’t getting the minerals they require, they begin disintegrating, and the cells die and can’t be repaired.
Your bones will weaken, and you’ll be at a higher risk of bone diseases. Osteoporosis, rickets, and bone cancer are all more likely to emerge. You can include more vitamin K2 supplements to take care of your bones.
But you’ll also want to clear any excess vitamin D to help support the whole system.
