I was taking 10,000 IU per day and my doctor told me to stop after blood tests showed the vitamin d level was too high.
reply
Do you remember your levels back then, if I may ask?
reply
10000 units per day.
I never got Covid.
reply
My vitamin d was off their "normal" range.
reply
How did you feel having so much? Anything noteworthy
reply
I felt good, especially during Covid. I didn't think you could overdose on it.
reply
Same. I actually never caught COVID during the pandemic, mayby because I used to "overdose" on vitamin d (?)
reply
Well that’s good!
reply
That's interesting, thanks. Bookmarked for later. I had read a book on the subject claiming that vitamin d overdose was almost impossible... I remember a period where I was taking 10k UI port day...

Hope your not over doing it
vitamin D trend isn't all blue skies. Some people are overdoing it with supplements. Researchers looking at national survey data gathered between 1999 and 2014 found a 2.8% uptick in the number of people taking potentially unsafe amounts of vitamin D — that is, more than 4,000 international units (IU) per day, according to a research letter published in the June 20 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). And during the same time period there was nearly an 18% increase in the number of people taking 1,000 IU or more of vitamin D daily, which is also beyond the dose of 600 to 800 IU recommended for most people.
