I have been taking 10,000 every day for years , i test my levels and has maxed out at 73 . I get sunshine but have dark skin . Everybody is extremely different but it is crucial that you get your levels tested often.
It is very important to understand that vitamin d affects people in different ways. It all depends on the person and thier body chemistry. So you shouldn't take it lightly if someone complains about side effects following intake of vitamin d. And there have also been people who have taken vit d for many years without any of these side effects. If it's causing you problems, then it's not for you, stop taking it. Your body is unable to handle it. Simple. No matter how good it is for other people. It all depends on your body chemistry. But please take these side effects very seriously, it's no joke.
Just started taking vitamin d and have developed muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and ringing in my ears. And I’m not even taking a lot. It depends on your body, your other meds, and other supplements that people should be taking but aren’t. I’ll stick to the sun😂
Since I have IBS, I am prescribed vitamin D3 at high levels... As I burn very easily, and cannot risk sun poisoning... Since taking Vitamin D3, the number of colds, etc. and IBS events (constipation, gas, diarrhea) has gone down dramatically.
@@Србомбоница86 do you know if sunlight exposure with anti depressants can cause serotonin syndrome? It makes me wonder the effectiveness of vitamin D and sunlight on mood regulation. Perhaps anti depressants may not be needed if people go outside enough
Thank you very much for this video. My dad was taking very high amounts of vitamin D, and started to suffer from almost all of these signs and symptoms. He was basically dying (loss of appetite, fatigue, bone pain, poor kidney function, etc). So as you read comments trying to discredit this video, please consider that 1- you can take too much of a good thing, 2- using a good thing incorrectly (such as excessive D3 without any K2 supplements) can be harmful, and 3- every body will not respond the same way to the same things (hence food and medical allergies). So experiment away with as much vitamin D as the internet encourages you to, but please monitor your bloodwork carefully, get to know the signs and symptoms that indicate you are taking too much, and find the sweet spot that works for your body. ps: I've read that you cannot get vitamin D toxicity from sunshine or from foods naturally containing vitamin D, only from supplements.
funny thing you can get 80 000iu from the sun per day.... so 80 000 cant'be too much.... and all the fables about everybody beeing different (off course)... but how should then be an experimental genetic modification good for everybody????
@@ti08287 Sunlight does not contain vitamin D - or any other vitamin. If you can understand that, then you should be able to understand how you can ingest too much vitamin d tablets.
I started taking D3 10,000 a day because I heard it helps hair growth. 2 months later, I find my hair shedding : ( I even cut 5 inches off & it’s still shedding! I can’t stop crying! I will No longer take it! My heart & prayers to all 💛🙏
@@Fhaydos thank you for asking. I’m happy to eat I have no more hair fall & shedding 💛 I just take a multi vitamin that has vitamin D, a biotin vitamin, folate vitamin, a B complex & a zinc copper vitamin (that I love!) it’s a brand by “solaray” it has kelp & pumpkin seed in it. Seems to be working plus I heard copper can stop grey hairs. I hope this helps others 💛
@@findingdori442 good to hear you’re recovering and thank you for the tips But how did you know that the shedding was caused by your excess supplementing of vitamin D , did you have a blood test
@@Fhaydos I did have a blood test & my vitamin d levels were high. I do think taking that d3 contributed to the hair fall/shedding but, I know I need to take other supplements too. Also, I learned to not let things dress me anymore 💛
The literature contains evidence that a range of vitamin D supplements from 800 to 300,000 IU/day have been used for periods ranging from months to years. Doses below 10,000 IU/day are not usually associated with toxicity, whereas doses equal to or above 50,000 IU/day for several weeks or months are frequently associated with toxic side effects including documented hypercalcemia. Most reports suggest that the toxicity threshold is between 10,000 and 40,000 IU of vitamin D per day. (Ref.: Institute of Medicine (US) Committee to Review Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin D and Calcium. Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D), 2011, 166 pg. [Chapter 6: Tolerable Upper Intake Levels: Calcium and Vitamin D].
Thank you for this video. It was helpful. I didn't know what was wrong with me until I realized I just started taking a vitamin D3 supplement a couple of weeks ago. I had never felt like that before. I had insomnia and night sweats for 3 nights, frequent urination, dehydration, loss of appetite, gas, and agitation. I wish I had known this before I started supplementing. All I have been hearing for the last few years is how helpful D3 is for the immune system and link to reduced breast cancer risk. I will not be taking it anymore. Do you know how long it takes to get out of your system. I have been drinking water like crazy and it would be nice to sleep soon.
I was supplementing for 2 months and I had all those symptoms you listed, including anxiety, arrythmias, low blood pressure and shortness of breath. I seriously thought I was going to die from a heart attack. I will never take it again. I've been off for about 3-4 days. I'm already feeling like a normal person. Cholecalciferol is what they make vitamin d3 with. It's used to make rat poison. That should give you a pointer. 😂 Maybe if I took vitamin K2 with it it wouldn't of been as bad, but I had enough of a scare to not try it again. It took me years of trying vitamin d3 for short periods of time to finally clue in that it was very dangerous for me. Hope you are feeling better.
@@dianetaylor4256 Wow...rat poison. That's scary. Thanks for sharing your experience. Most of the people I've talked to say it can't be Vitamin D but I know that's what it was. As soon as I stopped taking it, those symptoms started subsiding.
Rubbish. Since the start of C19, I have been taking Vita D3, then with K2,mag and zinc. Today my level is 431 - toxic. Be Careful. Take it by all means, then get your levels checked and also stop for six months, check levels again!
Agreed. 30yr old here. Body was falling apart from Low D. And symptoms are not that simple. Heck you maybe put on antidepressants vs fixing the real problem.
This is the best video I've seen on the toxicity of too much vitamin D. I was diagnosed with too much day about 3 or 4 years ago because my back hurt constantly and I urinated a lot. Since the covid returned have upped my dosage again and the same symptoms returned
It is not the amount of UI that is important, it is the level of D in you blood. We are all mostly D deficient. I have been taking 5000UI in the summer (with being in the sun) and 10000 UI in the winter. My blood D level I between 55 and 65. So where is the toxicity? I would proposed that we would have less victim of covidd if their status was above 50
I took 3000 ui im winter and 1000ui in summer with limited sun exposure ( canada) and I don t drink milk. I also skip days of taking it. Just had blood test and my level was 278 nmol/l . the upper limit should be no more than 250nmol/l
Saying high doses of VITAMIN D leads to toxicity is saying nothing. How do we recognize that toxicity? Both high and low vitamin D exhibit as bone pain, lethargy etc, etc. What are the boundaries? You mentioned 4,000 iu D3, but I see Dr. Fauci says he takes 6,000 iu/day. Is it possible there is no such thing as vitamin D toxicity?
Why don't you google it - the list is long. Most obvious might be pain passing water. Then there's kidney stones, hardening of the arteries, heart arrhythmia - all very common. No, it's not possible there's no such thing as Vit D toxicity. Several other vitamins have toxicity levels too. There's a simple solution - take a reasonable amount, below 4000IU. There's zero benefit from taking more, only extra expense and known harms
@@jm4dhs So how is it the Massai herds people of Kenya regularly have Vitamin D levels 4 to 5 times that of the average American without any of these toxicities? I think you are just wrong.
Why dont you take a bunch and find out the hard way like i had to. Hate to break it to you but vitamin D toxicity is real and can happen in no time at all taking anywhere over 10,000 IU per day. I woke up on May 4 and thought i was having a stroke or heart attack. Nearly ended up in the ER. 1 month later and im still nauseous and disoriented everyday. Fat soluble means this will take months or years to resolve. This is a bloody nightmare that is faaaaar worse than being vitamin D deficient.
Everybody is different but I was prescribed 1000 ui and took them for a week…. Now I have kidney pain, bone pain, and muscle pain. No appetite nausea and diarrhea….I have ptsd so I am a homebody but I’d rather just go sit in the sun then pop them ever again …. Hopefully what I’m going through will go away soon
hava taken 100 000iu/day for 16 months and then lowered to 50 000iu . yes all bon break pain from old fractures disappeared. never had sunburn again never neede sunblokker again. and felt overall much more energized.
If you take steroids you can feel better and energetic for some time but on the longer run you can encounter grave side effects. Don't risk your health.
@@GuruPrashanth7970 I was making a case against overdosing using steroids as an example. To be precise vit D. Is a secosteroid, a steroid, although it is commonly not considered a steroid in common use by most people. Vit. D toxicity is a real thing, it can be bad for you. This is what I wanted to say. Just be carefull plz. Ask you doctor.
I’ve been taking 4000ius every day for months. As well as fortified milk. Last few days I’ve developed tinnitus, headaches and fatigue. All additional symptoms of toxicity. I haven’t taken k2 or magnesium with the vit d, which may have been a mistake. Stopped supplementation to see if that helps.
I was taking 4,000 IU per day plus Vitamin K2 plus magnesium for 8 months. I recently had a blood test and found I have Vitamin D toxicity. I quit taking Vitamin D and I will have my blood tested again in 2 months. I don't see how this could happen because one of my genes says I may have low Vitamin D levels. I don't know what went wrong.
@@Susan.Lewis. I am suffering from fatigue and muscle twitching as well. I was only on 2000 IU per day but a high calcium diet for 14 months. Symptoms started appearing in April. They then faded after 10 days and then reappearing after 2 weeks. This has been ongoing in cycles until I got worried and I started to find out that I may be experiencing hypercalcemia due to long periods of Vitamin D usage and high calcium diet. I just got a blood test and currently awaiting the results.
Brother i have somewhat irritation in my thyroid after i took d3 60k ...my level was 14 and i had taken 3rd pill weekly after which my thyroid irritation happened
In our own interest, it would be great to have our levels of serum checked occasionally and maintain ideal levels (which are much below the toxic range) that would give us all the benefits of this wonderful pro hormone that should not be consumed in excess just for the reason that it is cheaply available from a nearby store or online. We shall not take any chance for the bad effects which are often silent, delayed and quite disturbing. Thanks
I was taking high dose vitamin D and the toxic level reached 150. I stopped taking D and avoid going in the sun in mid day. I had low end PTH and normal calcium levels in the blood. The D was taking it from my bones. I think supplementing is good if we know what we're doing. A simple test can keep us informed on our bodies. If I had tested I wouldn't be needing to un-do what I did by thinking I was helping myself. I'm balancing it wil some K2 and magnesium electrolytes and water. I had a broken bone in my foot which healed perfectly, but on the xray we can see the density in the heal and ankle was affected. Also bone ache during the night. It's been 2 weeks and I will test my D levels again soon.
"The D was taking it from my bones" - no, vitamin D doesn't destroy bones, PTH has this role. Did you experience fat loss? that could increase calcium level when vitamin D destroy it. :)
@@angela1981 yes, everything is normal now!. I stayed out of the sun and avoided any vit D and took Emu oil (K2/MK4). I tested and D is perfect, PTH is perfect. It worked. The negative feedbackloop has been resolved naturally. I also eat lots of meat.
you know electrolytes are salt water for stupid people, right? clear your language from the marketing and have an actual diet, blood tests only show a part of the vitamins, you need to learn to feel how things work for you and have external feedback, from your couple or family, other wise you miss the fun! get your hormones checked and good luck finding an answer.
I’m on 50,000 d2 prescription from my doctor I was not told any side effects I also asked and was told “my patients never had an issue.” I was told it’s ok to take multiple vitamin and to drink and eat fortified D foods and juices. I must tell you my first 4 weeks I was feeling amazing my 6th week I was good. After that I started getting rib pain and tenderness, then kidney pain I honestly was too busy I summed it up to be something else I took my last D2 (3months in) and I’m so sick. I have a lot of these symptoms. My doctor is too booked I can’t even get an over the phone appt so I went to urgent care the doctor took my blood work anyways but I feel so discouraged being told it’s not likely vitamin d toxicity. I HAVE ALL THESE SYMPTOMS I’ve been on D2 50,000 for 3 months with multivitamin and fortified juice and foods(added vitamin D in them) I lost weight I don’t want to eat I pee all night long my mouth is dry I’m irritated all the time my damn bones are hurting I’m so tired I just want to sleep all day!! When I the urgent care doctor to test for it he said he will test will come back 2-4 days and I’m made out to seem like some crazy lady. Just like when I had the damn deficiency in the first place I’m tired of it.
I have all these symptoms. The fatigue was so bad I thought it may be low iron. I lost so much weight and still don’t have my appetite back. Did you get your appetite back and if so how long did it take?
@marilyn’s life Hi Marilyn, how are your complaints going now? My wife also had poisoning and the doctors are not familiar with it (we live in the Netherlands). She has had all the symptoms you describe. however she still has complaints after 1 year. Her complaints are that she can now walk less and less and exert herself. the doctors can find no reason for her complaints. unfortunately the doctors also do not recognize the V-D toxicity. we are sincerely interested in how you are doing and what complaints you still experience? thanks already. Nadia
Hi Pipes, what were your complaints? how did you find out you were toxic? how long have you been taking V-D? my wife is sick from taking too much V-D. Now she has a lot of physical complaints. and it's been about 1 year now. I hope you can share your experience with us. Thanks already.
@pipes 101 Hi Pipes, what were your complaints? how did you find out you were toxic? how long have you been taking V-D? my wife is sick from taking too much V-D. Now she has a lot of physical complaints. and it's been about 1 year now. I hope you can share your experience with us. Thanks already.
Hi. how long can hypervitaminosis D toxicity symptoms last after you stop supplementing? Can these symptoms be recurrent, symptomless for a couple of weeks and comes back again?
@@codewalters Didn’t really get an answer but from experience it lasted 6 months until it normalised. Also learned that that you have to have vit K2 alongside Vit D to prevent toxicity.
@@nokhchi1079 yes, getting up to pee six times a night and pain at the start of the bowel. I have been taking K3 throughout which has been effective at dealing with higher calcium availability. I also crave milk but resist it. It will take a year to normalise according to my GP.
I take 5000iu every other day. 100iu raises by blood levels by 1ng/ml. Optimum being 26-32ng/ml. 5000iu once every 2 days averages 2500iu/day. I just wonder sometimes if it crossing 4000iu upper daily limit for 1 day is an issue. It's usually sold cheaper on Amazon for 5000iu and is more convenient than taking every day.
A paper from Indonesia said people below 30 had 10 times the chance of dying compared to people over 30 ng/ml, among their Covid-19 patients. Most people need 3000 iu/day to get 30 ng/ml. I used to take 10,000 iu per day for my MS. Now I'm down to 8000 iu per day. My blood level is 70 ng/ml, which is the same as lifeguards in Hawaii.
Every 2nd day is fine. That's actually a good way to do it if it's cheaper. Doctors will often ask people with a deficiency to take a larger amount once per week, so nothing to worry about. I take 4000IU 3 times per week for similar reasons. It's plenty enough. Lasts longer too.
"Optimum" is very probably 60~80 ng. 30 ng is a bare minimum, IMO. There is nothing magic or scary about the 4000 iu 'limit.' Plenty of people take 6,8, 10K or more with ZERO issues. Indeed they report improved health and freedom from inflammatory diseases.
@@geonerd More fakery. The 4000IU\day is used because no symptoms of Hypervitaminosis D have been observed up to that level of supplementation, but been observed above that level. Which doesn't mean 4000IU\day is a good amount as the majority is excreted and it's much more expensive than is needed. 1000IU\day is adequate. There's no such thing as "adequater". The result of excess amounts is made clear in the video.
This information belongs in the scare tactics category. Given the current situation, this video only serves to steer folks away from a known beneficial supplement. Vitamin D3 can be purchased at 5,000 IU with 90 mcg (micro-grams) of vitamin K2 in one capsule. That's a good starting dose. From what I have learned over several years of studying vitamin D3, you need to take it with K2 at the ratio above and several times this amount does not seem to be toxic or problematic. Most people are deficient. There is little evidence that you will harm yourself with these levels but there is much evidence that your immune system will be better able to protect you from whatever is going around. Know what I mean?
@sumfire dnb i put people on 150 000 units a day for 3 days as a dvitamin hammer and its very beneficial to get the d25 up. Its not a problem if the kidneys are alright and the person is low on d. Have many people on 20 000 u a day for yeras without any proble,s. The problems are other deficiencies leading to hyper Ca not D in it self.
When do you reach toxicity? I am vitamin D deficient, have 17.1ng/ml. My doctor gave me 50,000IU to take once per week and by mistake I was taking them 1 per day, I think 4 or 5 days. Would this cause an issue?
@@nas0075 Get Jeff T. Bowles' book about mega dosing with D3. As long as you take K2 with it you won't calcify your blood. About 100 micrograms K2 per 5 or 10 K of D3 he says.
magnesium, vitamin k2 , ascorbic acid , vitamin b6,,, if those are in the system you will rarly see problems with high d25 levels even if the max levels are three times passed
Very interesting but your mising a case study of what are exactly high levels of vitD in blot concentration that is more then 150ng/ml in blood.. thank you
It is true that toxicity can happen. I’m one of them. Still trying to reverse the effects of it. However mine was 50000iu as prescribed by my rheumatologist. Of course our bodies react differently. Read the comments from this vid, we just want to create awareness. If I came across this video, I wouldn’t have taken such high doses. I do believe the sun will not cause this.
No it is not! I have toxicity @ 150 I’m trying to lower it and decrease my symptoms. My problem was, I was having symptoms and didn’t realize it. Exhausted all the time, joint aches, gallbladder issues and kidney aches. If a person gets toxic it’s serious.
But Dr Fauchi is on a mega dose! This video will fall on deaf ears if all the emerging studies on Vitamin D being useful against Covid get wide recognition. We don't get much Vitamin D from food.not in the UK and we need to supplement Oct - March. Black and brown skinned people are particularly at risk from Vit D deficiency which is why they are disproportionately dying from Covid in the Northern Hemisphere where sunlight is weak.
it’s interesting that the government has limited and eliminated the capacity of family doctors in my area of Canada, to order vitamin D tests. particularly after a pandemic.
Nothing has changed since 2010 when the health care system decided that too many tests weren’t being ordered and that only 5% of ppl are deficient. Although I am one of those and qualify my GP does not understand the nuances of qualifying for this test.. my specialist insists it will be covered despite the 2010 changes. Regardless, it pays to have a good practitioner which is where good healthcare begins. Pay if you must... Vit D has really changed my life..
@@CikisHelyzet : I can only agree. It has changed my life immeasurably. Along with a few other measures. I don’t know if paying for the test is an option since the doctor is not allowed to order the test in my area. So perhaps we have another case here of a GP not really understanding the measures, and perhaps nobody can order them. If you’ve got a link explaining those policies or guidelines clearly, it sure would appreciated if you’d share it. Thank you so much for taking the time to Respond to my comment; You’ve given me something useful to think about that could make a difference.
Mayo Clinic recommends that adults get at least the RDA of 600 IU. However, 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D from a supplement is generally safe, should help people achieve an adequate blood level of vitamin D, and may have additional health benefits.👍
That is by far not enough.....You should take Vitamin D amount corresponding to your weight....BTW Studies have shown that 10000 iU per day over years are completely safe....
Wow. I’ve taken 20,000 iu 4-5 times a week (i forget on the weekends) since 2015. My health has only gotten better since then. I was extremely overweight, now I’m only moderately overweight. It’s a work in progress. 235 in 2015 to 196 yesterday.
Why not just measure Vitamin D? Usually it's too low anyway. Latest papers on blood levels state ideal blood levels to resist upper respiratory infections are between 40 and 60 . Dangerous levels over 90ng/ml.
Did you check the intake suggestions for these products? Because VitD can be stored by the body, it is sufficient to take a larger dose once per week. E.g. there are supplements with 7000 IU for a week, which equals 1000 IU per day. The maximum intake in this video is 4000 IU per day.
@@happyhealthylife4ever Sorry, if was not clear enough with my post. I tried to explain why these dosages exist, not what the best way of supplementing is. But now I'm curious, could you please elaborate on that?
My VitD levels are at 411 nmol/l im hoping my Dr. will prescribe treatment, typically how long can my body take to reset itself I've read upwards of 18 months. I was taking Vitamin D supplements because a year ago I have a vitamin D deficiency.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm exactly in the same shoes now as you were a year ago (judging by the timing of your comment). Would you mind sharing what helped and how long if took you to recover? Thank you SO much for any insights. Tapping in the dark and feeling incredibly miserable from the symptoms.
take magnesium, lots of k2, eat proper, no sugar, no alcohol, and ffs, do sports til you sweat! then relax and stretch properly, rest well and go again the next day, you might be overfed and you need to flow that energy.@@cathrineii696
Vitamin D toxicity is so rare...why have you chosen this theme......Hypercalcemia is the main marker , easy to measure....(only occurs when you have blood level by far higher than 150ng/ml)...clinical symptoms are not precise enough...sometimes based on myth (correlation is not causation!)
Hey thanks for your comment! Yes, you’re right - even though it is rare, i still think it’s a topic worth at least knowing about. (if you’ve seen the rest of my channel, you know that I talk about many very rare diseases/conditions).
Brother i have somewhat irritation in my thyroid after i took d3 60k ...my level was 14 and i had taken 3rd pill weekly after which my thyroid irritation happened
@@jjmedicine I am very thankful for this episode! I actually have high levels of vitamin D. I had it tested 12:31 20 levels were 136. We retested in July of 2021 levels or 99. November 2021 just retested again and I'm 122. I stopped taking my vitamin D supplement. Not sure why they're still elevated which according to the doctor is anything over a hundred. From the previous comment they're stating anything over 150?
Useless info when out of context. Giving numbers is difficult but if toxicity needs 40,000 IU a day in supplements and 8 litters of fortified milk a day then that would be such an outlier as to be of no concern to anyone. If it takes 1000 IU and 500ml of milk then there is a concern. As there seems to be almost universal vit D deficiency worldwide then I would be concentrating on that.
If your a 25 year old spry patient with a perfectly functioning body. I mean it's not like medecine today Is practiced on the older side of the population and vitamin toxicity is often taught and understood in relation to medical intervention. But then again the video might not be relevant, but relevant for you? I mean it's a good question still to ask the old patient with heart fibrillation problems if he's chugging vitamin D pills because he heard on some podcast that it's the best thing against Corona. This info is in context
I have some questions. 1- Are you a Medical Doctor? 2-There is no new scientific research in your video so I'm sure that you could NOT find any research that show vitamin D toxic effects and why don't you explain the benefit effect of vitamin D especially against covid-19 ? 3- Despite a lot of scientific research that shows the benefit of vitamin D in mortality and morbidity against covid-19 why you only try to explain Vit D toxicity that is NOT true ? I am a physician that know the benefits of vitamin D against covid-19 especially in the treatment . Don't try to make people panic against covid-19 and give the people true information.

I've read all the diverse comments, opinions and explanations of symptoms and every one are the same as the vaccine side effects. Do theirs coincide with receiving their vaccines? It happened to me. Heart problems Tinnitus, etc
i honestly dont know if the side effects are true, it seems be, but how many people are getting coerced and "hypocondrised" into having the same issues, that doesnt help!
There's never a need to take K2 if you're taking excessive levels of D3. Take an appropriate amount of D3 and ignore all the people in youtube comments telling you to take yet another supplement trying to mitigate the excess they already told you to take, These people aren't your friends. They're just trying to get more money out of you by telling to buy more and different supplements. It's plainly a racket.
I have PCOS and I remember how I felt when the doctor told me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies. God blessed me! with use of herbs 🌿
I tried taking Vit. D for my bones, but it started to give me hives. I can't take the white calcium either because it causes constipation. I also tried other types of calcium like algae and got a bad reaction. Has anyone had this problem and can suggest a supplement that has worked for you?
I drink low fat milk to meet my calcium needs (my needs are 1200 mg/day) I take a medication which can cause osteoporosis long term, so I tried looking for a good calcium supplement, but nothing's better than what God gave us. I know there's a lot of bad press about dairy, but studies show that dairy is one of the most optimal sources of natural calcium and phosphorus.

Day 4 of 6-10,000iu’s and I become very nauseous, had headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dehydration and anxiety. Last I check my d level was 27.9, 4 months ago. It’s winter and for those 4 months I only supplemented with 2000iu tabs. I decided to switch to oil and increase the dose for only 4 days and clearly became toxic smh Oh I also increased my magnesium through food and kept track of how much I was getting and still became toxic. I will not ever take k2 cause it cause jaw enlargement even in adults .. so I’m going back to avoiding all this complicated supplementation because it made me sick
Vincent Vega better it was the brand I was using. I switched to bluebonnet oil pills. I’ve been taking 10000 iu’s daily and I feel great. My d levels went from 27 to 62 so far
Vincent Vega I’m learning to not buy from Amazon also. Most of those things are fake so it was either a bad brand or something fake. But I buy from Whole Foods now and I feel great

Vitamin D toxicity is a major worldwide problem. With people spending more and more time outside in the sun, refusing to use sunscreen and taking massive doses of vitamin D, toxicity is a ever growing problem that needs to be looked at a little closer. Let's look at some statistics: Vitamin D toxicity deaths...0 Vitamin D deficiency health problems and deaths...1,000,000,000 plus... We have come to the conclusion that vitamin D toxicity is a major problem that needs to be addressed and believe the following governmental action should be taken: Recommending sun avoidance Mandatory sunscreen application The banning of all vitamin D3 over the counter supplements Vitamin D given by prescription only in doses less than the official RDA of 600 IU per day Mandatory vitamin D education to warn about the toxic effect of the sun.

I know someone who has multiple sclerosis and was given an inorganic form of vitamin d by her gp. I told her to take rosemary as it's packed with vitamins a, d, e etc and also a powerful powerful antioxidant for the body and can supress cancer tumors. What are the implications of inorganic vitamin d, since for example inorganic calcium can reposition the fluid in your inner ear and can touch the part that keeps you in balance, which is not good. Also it can affect the heart negatively long term. So is this the inorganic type of vitamin d you are talking about?
My sister has a D3 level of 355 nmol/L but her serum calcium levels are normal. She also takes 5 mg of Vit K2 (helps move calcium into the bone) and plenty of magnesium (counter ion to calcium) as well. She's been taking D3 50,000 IU every 4 days for about 12 months: She says it makes her feel better. N.B. Most tests show a standard range of Vit D up to 250 nmol/L. Journal articles suggest up to ~350 nmol/L D3 is not harmful. It's not clear how much D3 you can reasonably take without any danger of hypercalcaemia: Most incidences of hypercalcaemia involve dosing at much higher rates than 50,000 IU/day. Most recommendations on avoiding hypercalcaemia (maximum daily intake of D3 and max levels in the blood) seem to be based on opinion as they do not provide any supporting references: Virtually nobody ever measures their serum calcium levels to check if a problem exists. :-)
been poisoned by too much V-D. Now after 1 year she still has physical complaints. The doctors in the Netherlands are not familiar with V-D poisoning and complaints. Would you tell us more if there is treatment after a V-D poisoning. we can contact you by phone for a fee to hear more from you or to help us with this. I can leave my contact details if you are open to this. thanks already.
Vitamin D "toxicity" is actually a deficiency of things like Magnesium and Vitamin K2 (not to be confused with K1). Anyone supplementing with D needs to also be taking a broad-spectrum multiple vitamin to pick up any co-factors that the D uses in doing its job. Double check that it has the K2 (which keeps Calcium off the arterial walls and tells it to go to the bones), as it has only recently started to be added to multiple vitamins. Magnesium is involved in many metabolic pathways and most people are deficient in it, too. For every two Calcium atoms in your bones, the bones also need one Magnesium atom to go with them.
In hypocalcemia Vit D is activated by PTH and cause absorbtion from renal tubule and intestine but pth cause resorption of bone result is hypercalcemia that is ok...but what about the bones is there resorption or absorbtion ...I think vitd cause absorbtion but pth cause resorption what is the overall effect
OMG, my father has many of these symptoms and because of covid prevention, I was giving him 10.000 IU for 3 months every day and 3 months every other day. Tomorrow I'll take him for blood work to check this.
Milan no worries. I (56 year old) and my parents who are almost 80 years old were taking D3 supplement for almost a year at 12 000 IU every single day. I went to check my level of vitamin D3 and it was at 82. We are now taking 8000 IU (during winter months) and then we will be taking 4000 IU. I doubt your dad got to toxic level. Please let us know how did his blood work went. cheers
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 Thank you. My father is ok. He is 77 with weak kidneys, high blood pressure, and gout from before. His vit D level were in high normal range, and he didn't got Vit d toxicity. It seems I overreacted, but it is better to check than take a risk. We stopped using vitamin D for a while, now taking 2000 IU but we didn't check recently. Thanks to God he is well and his health is stable.
@@MrGervasius good to hear that. Have you tried to convience your dad to KETO diet ? Dr. Ken Berry (channel: KenDBerryMD) has great RUclips videos about curing most problems including high blood pressure. Give it a try. My dad's health improved so much after going keto that he told me that he feels better now at 81 than when he was 60. Thanks to keto lifestyle. cheers and good luck
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 Keto and low carb was good for me. I regulated high blood sugar with keto and low carb. Unfortunately, that is not good solution for my father. He has high blood pressure and gout from kidney weakness. If he eat a lot of meat he will get a gout attack so keto would not be good for him. Maybe some kind of vegetarian keto, but that would be hard to achieve. Anyway, thank you for your care and help. I appreciate it.
Could this be why I'm sooo anxious lately. My xanax doesn't help. I had covid in may and I take vitamin D after I had covid pneumonia..But I take 10,000 at times and 5,000 most days. My nerves and I cry all the time. I related it to the covid..I have chronic flare ups in my lungs and get short of breath. Today was 6 months and it was aweful..im still suffering
vitaminD3 is not a medication to treat any virus infection, but is to prevent it. If you are deficient, and start to take D3 supplemnt, it takes 3 to 6 months to reachthe best rate in the body .
Shelley Lannon Prior to the virus did you have any underlying health problems & were you taking any supplements to try to boost your Immune System? Hope all goes well for you
Hmm, the red light here for me was the warning of psychiatric symptoms including depression. Did anyone tell him some depression is caused by Vit D deficiency? Or indeed, that deficiency is a factor in laying down of belly fat in men? So supplementation should bring a small weight loss? Or even that oily fish contains MORE Vit D than fortified milk? (Although I'd concede that may depend on where you are; some countries add more than others). Anyway, you wouldn't take high dose Vit D year round unless you were tested and found deficient without it, would you?
Facts Only Not Mentioned in the Video: (1)The hypercalcemia is excess Calcium in the blood but that Calcium is REMOVED FROM THE BONES... WEAKENING THEM. The kidneys, arteries, heart valves etc. (soft tissues) get the glut of the excess Calcium. So the bones get weak and break more easily and the kidneys can get full of Calcium stones and Arteries, heart valves, etc, can all have horrible responses to excess Calcium in them (2) I consider the non thinking, non concerned medical doctors at fault for not doing their own research and instead prescribing large amounts of "lanolin" which is where the D3 comes from and endangering and harming people across the world. Some people I know will never take a supplement again from a health food or other store. (3) Vitamin D3 should never have been put on the market.We were fine with D2 a less deadly form of the hormone. (4) If you are going to avoid milk which is fortified with Vitamin D3, you may as well avoid cheeses and creams of all kinds as there is probably lots of fortification of the milks that go into making the creams, the lovely cheeses, etc. Even the animal feeds are fortified with Vitamin D3. (5) If you do a search for "rat poisons and cholecalciferol"(Vitamin D3), you find that many dogs are dying from eating the Vitamin D3 supplements and that D3 is said to be a very effective rat killer, and in several such products.
If you don’t want any problems with Calcium getting out of the bones …or with calcium getting in soft tissues most people not vegan take Vit D3 While the vegans take Vit D2…if someone is supplementing. with Vit.D….they shouldn’t take more than 2,000 I.U. Per day if they don’t have their level Vit.D ( 25(OH)D) levels in blood verified every 3-4 months..Also for every 2,000 I.U. Supplement Vit. D. someone has to take 100mcg Vitamin K2 Menaquinone7 (MK7) naturally fermented to prevent Problems with Calcium out of bones and calcium accumulating in soft tissues instead of the bones…. Make sure you take Vit.K2….don’t mistake by taking Vit K1 or VitK which is the same as K1 For helping with coagulation when someone has too thin blood that doesn’t coagulate Normally…..As a matter of fact there should NEVER be Vit.K or. or Vit.K1 available on shelves….they should be kept behind counters where only Pharmacists could give them Only when they’ve been Rx by a G.P. or a specialist… People who eat a little fermented food as sauerkraut or kimchi etc (google can help you with this one)everyday don’t need Vit. K2 which is made from ? Fermented…
@Teri June, my wife has become very ill from taking Vit-D. can you also tell us more about which physical complaints are permanent? Is more known about that? or do you know more about that? We have already had so many medical examinations and the doctors find no cause for her complaints. She has a lot of bone pain and she feels less in the left part of her body. have people died from the effects of Vit-D poisoning? I can't find any information about that on the internet. you would help us with more information. Many thanks already. Nadia
I went to doctors and was dismissed. My condition got worse after I took vitamin d 50000iu as directed by the doctor. I kept getting odd systems after that, my entire body was so tight. My abdomen swell up and went down. I went to ER when I felt a pull like a pull, it feels like my vein. Doctor asked me to do a ct scan but radiology was shut so I went back to the doctor that prescribed me the vitamin d, my abdomen wasn’t swelling however it’s harder than usual. At this point I told a friend, he asked me to drink 3L of warm water. I felt super dehydrated and thirsty all the time. Before I took 50000 IU I actually asked if there are possibilities of overdose, he told me no although the instructions actually state 25000 IU once every 6 weeks. He passed my case to general surgeon and I got scolding when my blood test seems quite normal. In my country I’m not sure if there is a toxicity test. But my urine markers changed before & after I took it. I thought ok I should be fine. Things got worse. I started getting more cramp especially on legs. Pain on bones & certain areas. I noticed a round lump on my wrist vein and then under rib cage now I see it on one of my leg. I’m really worried that it has caused venous insufficiency. But I went to a cardiologist and endocrinologist my case was dismissed. They suspect it’s my anxiety that’s causing this unexplained pain when I told them I’m on medication. I started developing some varicose veins on my feet. At this point I’m not sure which doctor I should see. I’ve been using sound healing everyday to deal with unexplained pain. When I take supplements the pain I think it’s my vein / blood vessels get worse. I bought a supplement for lymph and it didn’t helped. Ginger drink helped a bit. Vitamin C is ok. I’m not sure if I want to get supplement for vein, natto or k2? I pray all of us will be able to heal. I told myself to keep a positive mind but sometimes the pain can be unbearable. Stay strong those who are impacted. Trust that we can heal. I also believe in tcm. I was drinking safflower with hot water. The hardened part on the inner elbow is abit softer. But I get acidic because I have gastric issues. Try drinking 3L slight warm water for those who feels dehydrated. Our kidneys will readjust. I was peeing alot and it got much better. ❤ & light to all.
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!..
The Institutes of Medicine specifies 10,000 IU/day as the “No Observed Adverse Effect (NOAE) Level” - an intake that is not advisable, but which is not considered objectively harmful either. The Endocrine Society provides recommendations for vitamin D requirements and dietary intake, and list “sufficiency” as 30 to 100 ng/mL. UCLA Endocrine Center Vitamin D 25,hydroxyl recommendation of 30-80 ng/mL. Quest Diagnostics and Lab Corp list 30 to 100 ng/mL. as “optimal” levels. Vitamin D Testing | Quest Diagnostics (FAQ section of their Clinical Education Center web page) Endocrine Society’s practice guidelines on vitamin D state that vitamin D intoxication is usually not observed until serum 25(OH)D levels are more than 150 ng/mL.
Yes and no. It all depends on where you live. I'm in Canada, which is the poster child for MS. MS, as you should know, increases with latitude... and vanishes with indigenous (fish oil) diet. My neighbour hates doctors for that reason: quote: "I lost the ten best years of my life". (She was diagnosed at age 20) How did she cure the "incurable" disease? 2,500 IU of vitamin D per day. Her doctors were out to lunch. It is amazing (to me) the number of people who will look you in the eye and mumble that their MS is "incurable". Well, if it is incurable, what do you have to lose? It isn't as though your doctor has a working treatment for you. It is also going to be affected by how much sun you allow on your skin, and when. If you go out in a fig leaf, your body will create between 20,000 and 30,000 units half way to burn. I take about 4,000 units as supplements, and anything more as fish oil. Yes, I have always had to get up in the middle of the night to pee... and have always taken supplements, but again, I don't go out to tan, and in winter, obviously, I do not expose myself to any sun we might have. The third point involves covid. The initial study, from the University of Cordoba, found that if you were given 3 doses of calcifidiol (what Vitamin D3 becomes in your liver) upon admission to hospital, day 3, and day 7 with covid of 25,000 units, you did not end up in the ICU (actually, one in 54 people did) and nobody died. Of those (in the study) who did not get the supplement, 50% ended up in ICU and 2 died. The odds of this being a false positive were less than 4 in 10,000. Which is incredibly low. Is it any wonder why so many oldies in rest homes died? Well, the diet is terrible, and they never strip in the sunlight. Please note the obvious: different people have different needs. Not everyone is Canada has MS. I have had covid once, and started taking about 20,000 units a day the moment I realized I had been infected, on Friday morning. All I wanted to do was sleep... but by 3 am Sunday I realized I was no longer sleepy. I continued taking it at near that level for about 3 weeks: until the covid pneumonia stopped coming back if I missed a supplement. (I was taking about 4000 units every couple of hours in the day time). My sense of smell came back after about 8 days. (I was denied anti-virals because I'm 70 and have no co-morbidities. My doctor subsequently said "Well, you came through that easily", and I replied, "Yes, but you didn't know that in advance") Since Vitamin D moderates over 3,500 genes in the human genome, you had better get enough.
Most people who experience vitamin D toxicity, is because they cannot absorb the active form. You need to be taking vitamin K2, and also very important, Magnesium also!
PLEASE HELP... I AM 18 Y OLD... I HAVE GOT MY TEST RESUL,TS AND VIT D IS 132.2ng/ml I HAVE SLIGHT BONE PAIN (IN KNEE OR IN SHIN) BUT MY CALCIUM LEVEL SEEMS TO BE NORMAL...

@@PawanKumar-on1mo I can only share my personal story and approach, I'm not a medical doctor, so please filter through medical advice, if you have access to it. So: My toxic-Vit D levels were 250 nmol - and yes, I felt awful: headache and brain fog, muscle aches, overall just fatigued and unwell. When I realised this, I had cut out all Vit D supplements, Omega 3/fishoil (as it supports Vit D production apparently) and calcium (as too much Vit D interferes with Calcium absorption and we are at risk of depositing calcium in places it doesn't belong, like joints and kidneys). Next to cutting out all supplements, I also cut out: Most of the Vit D and calcium containing foods out of my diet for 3 months. No fish or seafood (as it's high in Vit D), no diary, butter etc - it was hard, but worth it. I felt continuously better and re-tested my levels 3.5 months after the initial 'shock' result and I'm naturally down to 50nmol. Mind you, I live in a climate with little sunshine, so it probably helped with dropping my values. I'm fine now!! It was the cheapest and most natural way that I know of. I hope it will help you, too.
@@PawanKumar-on1mo ...just to add: The most effective way for me to adjust my diet (apart from cutting out the obvious supplements) was to google: What foods are high in Vit D? And what foods are high in calcium? And then, cut out those foods as much as possible to lower the levels asap. 3 months of doing this really did the trick for me. You won't feel better "immediately" but give this a few weeks and most importantly "Trust the process". It worked really well for me, and I hope you'll feel the relief too 🙏
Please help me! I have vitamin D levels of 335 they originally started at 329 and they went up in 2 weeks I'm on a calcium restricted diet so I don't know how the numbers got higher I'm asking what kind of diet of food I can eat while trying to lower my vitamin D levels I don't know what meat is safe to eat because all the meat that I check has vitamin Din it could you please help me my doctor Couldn't help me or the dietitian since they don't know much about the vitamin D toxicity or what I should be eating to while lowering my levels.
Yeah just wait until you take it and then get too much because you didn’t get your blood tested because “what could it hurt” let me tell you it can hurt a lot of things. Please get your blood tested before taking vitamin d and get a recommendation for dosage by a doctor.
@@yupyup8506 that’s always my advice to people but they shouldn’t wait for a test. They should begin immediately with a safe dose because it would be rare to not be low. Testing is always best to confirm. I’ve never hear of anyone being too high tho. Do you have experience with that?
I have toxic levels of vitamin D of 335 my originally toxic levels was 329 3 weeks ago and the doctor took my levels again two weeks later and that's when they had went up to 335 after I was trying to be on a low calcium diet and trying to restrict my vitamin D intake my doctor said he don't know how to help me cause he'se not familiar with what I should be eating with toxic levels of vitamin D so he referred me to a dietitian and she said she couldn't help me either because they didn't teach them much about vitamin D toxicity when she was in school I don't want my level to continue to go up I did buy the vitamin K2 like you recommended I just don't know what to eat to lower my vitamin D levels in my body at the same time keep my calcium from getting too high as well. Could you please give me some type of menu/diet/foods that I can eat during this time that my levels are 335 that will allow my vitamin D levels to go down while eating
Why are your VitD levels high, as that's not possible unless you're taking additional VitD through supplements? But if your Calcium is high at the same time you'd need to have your Parathyroid hormone levels checked as that forces calcium concentrations to be high at the same time as high VitD. This isn't a matter of diet or supplements. You need your doctor to refer you to an endocrinologist to check it out further as it's not a trivial matter.
@thomassabac4382 I'm healed! the doctors couldn't help me and was not educated on high levels toxic levels of vitamin D I just prayed and trusted God and instead of taking two years to bring them down. The Lord brought them down by just prayer and trusting him within 4 months. Even my endrocrinologist basically was saying this was a miracle in other words said she never saw vitamin D toxic levels at high come down there quick basically
I don't know if anyone can help me here..8 months ago i started having alot of back pain and leg weakness and shortness of breathe sometimes I had a blood test and my vit D level was very low it was only 7 then my doc prescribed me 6000iu twice a week...I started feeling better after a month. I was dine for 3 months but since last month I started having back and leg pain again Is was mild but since 5 days it become severe, I feel so much weakness,fatigue and a shortness of breathe. I would feel like I am dying. And today i test my vit D Level again and it is 109 which is very toxic. So i am wondering are all these symptoms and shortness of breathe is due to vit D deficiency?? Plz share your experience
IMO, greater than 100ng is entering the 'caution' zone. Although even that is generally safe. 200ng is likely a bad place to be, where you will be at some moderate risk.

Interesting .... my D level in 2012 was 29 ng/mL (too low). I then started supplementing 1,000 IU then 5,000 IU per day and got to 41 ng/mL in 2017. This past year, without any testing since 2017, I decided to increase my daily 5,000 IU Vitamin D3 supplement to 10,000 IU from about January to May due to winter weather then went back to 5,000 IU. I have been miserable for the past year and half. Pain in my hips, groin, inner thighs, hip flexors, bunions on the outside of my feet, pulled muscle feelings, weakness, depression, overall lethargy despite exercising daily. Just had my annual exam labs done and even before seeing the doctor she emailed me to tell me to switch to every other day if I am supplementing Vitamin D as it is too high: 70 ng/mL. I cant take Vitamin K2 due to high platelets but the good news is my blood test showed calcium level smack dab in the middle of normal. I will reluctantly go to every other day D3 supplements at 5,000 IU per day and hopefully will feel better. These symptoms sound almost like how I feel. I thought a D level of 70 would not cause problems. Of course I might have been much higher coming off the 10,000 winter cycle I was on. Great video.
I have been taking 10,000 every day for years , i test my levels and has maxed out at 73 . I get sunshine but have dark skin . Everybody is extremely different but it is crucial that you get your levels tested often.
It is very important to understand that vitamin d affects people in different ways. It all depends on the person and thier body chemistry. So you shouldn't take it lightly if someone complains about side effects following intake of vitamin d. And there have also been people who have taken vit d for many years without any of these side effects.
If it's causing you problems, then it's not for you, stop taking it. Your body is unable to handle it. Simple. No matter how good it is for other people.
It all depends on your body chemistry.
But please take these side effects very seriously, it's no joke.

Thank you very much for this video. My dad was taking very high amounts of vitamin D, and started to suffer from almost all of these signs and symptoms. He was basically dying (loss of appetite, fatigue, bone pain, poor kidney function, etc).
So as you read comments trying to discredit this video, please consider that 1- you can take too much of a good thing, 2- using a good thing incorrectly (such as excessive D3 without any K2 supplements) can be harmful, and 3- every body will not respond the same way to the same things (hence food and medical allergies).
So experiment away with as much vitamin D as the internet encourages you to, but please monitor your bloodwork carefully, get to know the signs and symptoms that indicate you are taking too much, and find the sweet spot that works for your body.
ps: I've read that you cannot get vitamin D toxicity from sunshine or from foods naturally containing vitamin D, only from supplements.

The literature contains evidence that a range of vitamin D supplements from 800 to 300,000 IU/day have been used for periods ranging from months to years. Doses below 10,000 IU/day are not usually associated with toxicity, whereas doses equal to or above 50,000 IU/day for several weeks or months are frequently associated with toxic side effects including documented hypercalcemia. Most reports suggest that the toxicity threshold is between 10,000 and 40,000 IU of vitamin D per day.
(Ref.: Institute of Medicine (US) Committee to Review Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin D and Calcium. Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D), 2011, 166 pg. [Chapter 6: Tolerable Upper Intake Levels: Calcium and Vitamin D].
I take 50000 vitamin D units every 3-7 days. I feel amazing.
Should have gotten into serum concentrations to make this relevant. And a few differing case histories.
Thank you for this video. It was helpful. I didn't know what was wrong with me until I realized I just started taking a vitamin D3 supplement a couple of weeks ago. I had never felt like that before. I had insomnia and night sweats for 3 nights, frequent urination, dehydration, loss of appetite, gas, and agitation. I wish I had known this before I started supplementing. All I have been hearing for the last few years is how helpful D3 is for the immune system and link to reduced breast cancer risk. I will not be taking it anymore. Do you know how long it takes to get out of your system. I have been drinking water like crazy and it would be nice to sleep soon.
I was supplementing for 2 months and I had all those symptoms you listed, including anxiety, arrythmias, low blood pressure and shortness of breath. I seriously thought I was going to die from a heart attack. I will never take it again. I've been off for about 3-4 days. I'm already feeling like a normal person. Cholecalciferol is what they make vitamin d3 with. It's used to make rat poison. That should give you a pointer. 😂 Maybe if I took vitamin K2 with it it wouldn't of been as bad, but I had enough of a scare to not try it again. It took me years of trying vitamin d3 for short periods of time to finally clue in that it was very dangerous for me. Hope you are feeling better.
@@dianetaylor4256 Wow...rat poison. That's scary. Thanks for sharing your experience. Most of the people I've talked to say it can't be Vitamin D but I know that's what it was. As soon as I stopped taking it, those symptoms started subsiding.

This is the best video I've seen on the toxicity of too much vitamin D. I was diagnosed with too much day about 3 or 4 years ago because my back hurt constantly and I urinated a lot. Since the covid returned have upped my dosage again and the same symptoms returned
How much vitamin d were you taking?
How much
Same as me,constant trotting off to pee and aching back.
what as your dosage ?
Hi- how long did it take to resolve it? Thanks so much
It is not the amount of UI that is important, it is the level of D in you blood. We are all mostly D deficient.
I have been taking 5000UI in the summer (with being in the sun) and 10000 UI in the winter. My blood D level I between 55 and 65. So where is the toxicity?
I would proposed that we would have less victim of covidd if their status was above 50
how old are you?
u should check d25 to d1.25 ratio, lot of inflamation makes the ratio change. a good dosage is 10 000 iu d3 a day
Yup. 50~80ng is probably an ideal level for most, and it represents the level where full immune support begins.
@@geonerd How do you know that is the level where full Immune support begins?
I took 3000 ui im winter and 1000ui in summer with limited sun exposure ( canada) and I don t drink milk. I also skip days of taking it. Just had blood test and my level was 278 nmol/l . the upper limit should be no more than 250nmol/l
Saying high doses of VITAMIN D leads to toxicity is saying nothing. How do we recognize that toxicity? Both high and low vitamin D exhibit as bone pain, lethargy etc, etc. What are the boundaries? You mentioned 4,000 iu D3, but I see Dr. Fauci says he takes 6,000 iu/day. Is it possible there is no such thing as vitamin D toxicity?
Why don't you google it - the list is long. Most obvious might be pain passing water. Then there's kidney stones, hardening of the arteries, heart arrhythmia - all very common.
No, it's not possible there's no such thing as Vit D toxicity. Several other vitamins have toxicity levels too.
There's a simple solution - take a reasonable amount, below 4000IU. There's zero benefit from taking more, only extra expense and known harms
@@jm4dhs So how is it the Massai herds people of Kenya regularly have Vitamin D levels 4 to 5 times that of the average American without any of these toxicities? I think you are just wrong.

Why dont you take a bunch and find out the hard way like i had to. Hate to break it to you but vitamin D toxicity is real and can happen in no time at all taking anywhere over 10,000 IU per day. I woke up on May 4 and thought i was having a stroke or heart attack. Nearly ended up in the ER. 1 month later and im still nauseous and disoriented everyday. Fat soluble means this will take months or years to resolve. This is a bloody nightmare that is faaaaar worse than being vitamin D deficient.
Everybody is different but I was prescribed 1000 ui and took them for a week…. Now I have kidney pain, bone pain, and muscle pain. No appetite nausea and diarrhea….I have ptsd so I am a homebody but I’d rather just go sit in the sun then pop them ever again …. Hopefully what I’m going through will go away soon

If you take steroids you can feel better and energetic for some time but on the longer run you can encounter grave side effects. Don't risk your health.
@@lucamatteobarbieri2493 vitamin d is a steroid?
@@GuruPrashanth7970 I was making a case against overdosing using steroids as an example. To be precise vit D. Is a secosteroid, a steroid, although it is commonly not considered a steroid in common use by most people.
Vit. D toxicity is a real thing, it can be bad for you. This is what I wanted to say. Just be carefull plz. Ask you doctor.
I’ve been taking 4000ius every day for months. As well as fortified milk. Last few days I’ve developed tinnitus, headaches and fatigue. All additional symptoms of toxicity. I haven’t taken k2 or magnesium with the vit d, which may have been a mistake. Stopped supplementation to see if that helps.
I was taking 4,000 IU per day plus Vitamin K2 plus magnesium for 8 months. I recently had a blood test and found I have Vitamin D toxicity.
I quit taking Vitamin D and I will have my blood tested again in 2 months.
I don't see how this could happen because one of my genes says I may have low Vitamin D levels. I don't know what went wrong.
@@Susan.Lewis. I am suffering from fatigue and muscle twitching as well. I was only on 2000 IU per day but a high calcium diet for 14 months. Symptoms started appearing in April. They then faded after 10 days and then reappearing after 2 weeks. This has been ongoing in cycles until I got worried and I started to find out that I may be experiencing hypercalcemia due to long periods of Vitamin D usage and high calcium diet. I just got a blood test and currently awaiting the results.

In our own interest, it would be great to have our levels of serum checked occasionally and maintain ideal levels (which are much below the toxic range) that would give us all the benefits of this wonderful pro hormone that should not be consumed in excess just for the reason that it is cheaply available from a nearby store or online. We shall not take any chance for the bad effects which are often silent, delayed and quite disturbing. Thanks
what you DR thinks as ideal level is much too low
What are its bad effects?
Great video! I think a balanced diet, some exercise and a little sun will go a long ways
A little sun will not do much. And it is almost impossible to get enough D in your diet. Deliberate sunbathing or supplements are the solution.
So doesn’t vitamin k2 reduce the calcium increases caused by increased d3?
No, it directs vitamin D to your bones and not your soft tissue.
@@belvedere92 ... not the d but the calcium
I was taking high dose vitamin D and the toxic level reached 150. I stopped taking D and avoid going in the sun in mid day. I had low end PTH and normal calcium levels in the blood. The D was taking it from my bones. I think supplementing is good if we know what we're doing. A simple test can keep us informed on our bodies. If I had tested I wouldn't be needing to un-do what I did by thinking I was helping myself. I'm balancing it wil some K2 and magnesium electrolytes and water. I had a broken bone in my foot which healed perfectly, but on the xray we can see the density in the heal and ankle was affected. Also bone ache during the night. It's been 2 weeks and I will test my D levels again soon.
Hello. Can you please share the results of your vitamin d test? I'm dealing with something similar.
"The D was taking it from my bones" - no, vitamin D doesn't destroy bones, PTH has this role. Did you experience fat loss? that could increase calcium level when vitamin D destroy it. :)
A year later here but I just got same lab results. Am stopping now. Did yours lower?
@@angela1981 yes, everything is normal now!. I stayed out of the sun and avoided any vit D and took Emu oil (K2/MK4). I tested and D is perfect, PTH is perfect. It worked. The negative feedbackloop has been resolved naturally. I also eat lots of meat.
you know electrolytes are salt water for stupid people, right? clear your language from the marketing and have an actual diet, blood tests only show a part of the vitamins, you need to learn to feel how things work for you and have external feedback, from your couple or family, other wise you miss the fun! get your hormones checked and good luck finding an answer.
Some people need extreme amounts because of the color of their skin and if they are considered obese!
I’m on 50,000 d2 prescription from my doctor I was not told any side effects I also asked and was told “my patients never had an issue.” I was told it’s ok to take multiple vitamin and to drink and eat fortified D foods and juices. I must tell you my first 4 weeks I was feeling amazing my 6th week I was good. After that I started getting rib pain and tenderness, then kidney pain I honestly was too busy I summed it up to be something else I took my last D2 (3months in) and I’m so sick. I have a lot of these symptoms. My doctor is too booked I can’t even get an over the phone appt so I went to urgent care the doctor took my blood work anyways but I feel so discouraged being told it’s not likely vitamin d toxicity. I HAVE ALL THESE SYMPTOMS I’ve been on D2 50,000 for 3 months with multivitamin and fortified juice and foods(added vitamin D in them) I lost weight I don’t want to eat I pee all night long my mouth is dry I’m irritated all the time my damn bones are hurting I’m so tired I just want to sleep all day!! When I the urgent care doctor to test for it he said he will test will come back 2-4 days and I’m made out to seem like some crazy lady. Just like when I had the damn deficiency in the first place I’m tired of it.
My symptoms exactly. Take Vita k to help? Good luck.
I have all these symptoms. The fatigue was so bad I thought it may be low iron. I lost so much weight and still don’t have my appetite back. Did you get your appetite back and if so how long did it take?
@marilyn’s life Hi Marilyn, how are your complaints going now?
My wife also had poisoning and the doctors are not familiar with it (we live in the Netherlands). She has had all the symptoms you describe. however she still has complaints after 1 year. Her complaints are that she can now walk less and less and exert herself.
the doctors can find no reason for her complaints.
unfortunately the doctors also do not recognize the V-D toxicity.
we are sincerely interested in how you are doing and what complaints you still experience?

@@codewalters Didn’t really get an answer but from experience it lasted 6 months until it normalised. Also learned that that you have to have vit K2 alongside Vit D to prevent toxicity.

@@nokhchi1079 yes, getting up to pee six times a night and pain at the start of the bowel. I have been taking K3 throughout which has been effective at dealing with higher calcium availability. I also crave milk but resist it. It will take a year to normalise according to my GP.
@@alltaken0 I swallowed about 30,000a week in one dose for ages, thinking that would get my low levels up! Oops.
@@bt9124 can you be more specific? How much did you take and what was the effect?
I take 5000iu every other day. 100iu raises by blood levels by 1ng/ml. Optimum being 26-32ng/ml. 5000iu once every 2 days averages 2500iu/day.
I just wonder sometimes if it crossing 4000iu upper daily limit for 1 day is an issue. It's usually sold cheaper on Amazon for 5000iu and is more convenient than taking every day.
A paper from Indonesia said people below 30 had 10 times the chance of dying compared to people over 30 ng/ml, among their Covid-19 patients. Most people need 3000 iu/day to get 30 ng/ml. I used to take 10,000 iu per day for my MS. Now I'm down to 8000 iu per day. My blood level is 70 ng/ml, which is the same as lifeguards in Hawaii.
Every 2nd day is fine. That's actually a good way to do it if it's cheaper. Doctors will often ask people with a deficiency to take a larger amount once per week, so nothing to worry about. I take 4000IU 3 times per week for similar reasons. It's plenty enough. Lasts longer too.
"Optimum" is very probably 60~80 ng. 30 ng is a bare minimum, IMO. There is nothing magic or scary about the 4000 iu 'limit.' Plenty of people take 6,8, 10K or more with ZERO issues. Indeed they report improved health and freedom from inflammatory diseases.
@@geonerd More fakery. The 4000IU\day is used because no symptoms of Hypervitaminosis D have been observed up to that level of supplementation, but been observed above that level. Which doesn't mean 4000IU\day is a good amount as the majority is excreted and it's much more expensive than is needed. 1000IU\day is adequate. There's no such thing as "adequater". The result of excess amounts is made clear in the video.
@@jm4dhs Everyones body is different. Whatever the amount as long as you get it upto 50 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml its safe
This information belongs in the scare tactics category. Given the current situation, this video only serves to steer folks away from a known beneficial supplement. Vitamin D3 can be purchased at 5,000 IU with 90 mcg (micro-grams) of vitamin K2 in one capsule. That's a good starting dose. From what I have learned over several years of studying vitamin D3, you need to take it with K2 at the ratio above and several times this amount does not seem to be toxic or problematic. Most people are deficient. There is little evidence that you will harm yourself with these levels but there is much evidence that your immune system will be better able to protect you from whatever is going around. Know what I mean?
@sumfire dnb i put people on 150 000 units a day for 3 days as a dvitamin hammer and its very beneficial to get the d25 up. Its not a problem if the kidneys are alright and the person is low on d. Have many people on 20 000 u a day for yeras without any proble,s. The problems are other deficiencies leading to hyper Ca not D in it self.
Everything in moderation
Thank you
When do you reach toxicity? I am vitamin D deficient, have 17.1ng/ml. My doctor gave me 50,000IU to take once per week and by mistake I was taking them 1 per day, I think 4 or 5 days. Would this cause an issue?
@@nas0075 Get Jeff T. Bowles' book about mega dosing with D3. As long as you take K2 with it you won't calcify your blood. About 100 micrograms K2 per 5 or 10 K of D3 he says.

One of the only videos to frighten the public unecesary about Too much vitamin D
those medical "doctors" are not payed to lie they are beleavers in big pharma s all lies
A good video. Vitamin D can be toxic if taken in large quantities there is the evidence to support this contention..
It is true that toxicity can happen. I’m one of them. Still trying to reverse the effects of it. However mine was 50000iu as prescribed by my rheumatologist. Of course our bodies react differently. Read the comments from this vid, we just want to create awareness. If I came across this video, I wouldn’t have taken such high doses. I do believe the sun will not cause this.
No it is not! I have toxicity @ 150 I’m trying to lower it and decrease my symptoms. My problem was, I was having symptoms and didn’t realize it. Exhausted all the time, joint aches, gallbladder issues and kidney aches. If a person gets toxic it’s serious.
@@Carol-c9u taking large doses is toxic for anything but most people don't take huge doses
Thank you. This was interesting and informative
But Dr Fauchi is on a mega dose! This video will fall on deaf ears if all the emerging studies on Vitamin D being useful against Covid get wide recognition. We don't get much Vitamin D from food.not in the UK and we need to supplement Oct - March. Black and brown skinned people are particularly at risk from Vit D deficiency which is why they are disproportionately dying from Covid in the Northern Hemisphere where sunlight is weak.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!!
These informations ARE NOT TRUE !
it’s interesting that the government has limited and eliminated the capacity of family doctors in my area of Canada, to order vitamin D tests. particularly after a pandemic.
Nothing has changed since 2010 when the health care system decided that too many tests weren’t being ordered and that only 5% of ppl are deficient. Although I am one of those and qualify my GP does not understand the nuances of qualifying for this test.. my specialist insists it will be covered despite the 2010 changes. Regardless, it pays to have a good practitioner which is where good healthcare begins. Pay if you must... Vit D has really changed my life..
@@CikisHelyzet : I can only agree. It has changed my life immeasurably. Along with a few other measures.
I don’t know if paying for the test is an option since the doctor is not allowed to order the test in my area. So perhaps we have another case here of a GP not really understanding the measures, and perhaps nobody can order them.
If you’ve got a link explaining those policies or guidelines clearly, it sure would appreciated if you’d share it.

Mayo Clinic recommends that adults get at least the RDA of 600 IU. However, 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D from a supplement is generally safe, should help people achieve an adequate blood level of vitamin D, and may have additional health benefits.👍

Why not just measure Vitamin D? Usually it's too low anyway. Latest papers on blood levels state ideal blood levels to resist upper respiratory infections are between 40 and 60 . Dangerous levels over 90ng/ml.

5000 IU is a typical dose sold on Amazon. What a disconnect! Great info as always!
Did you check the intake suggestions for these products? Because VitD can be stored by the body, it is sufficient to take a larger dose once per week. E.g. there are supplements with 7000 IU for a week, which equals 1000 IU per day. The maximum intake in this video is 4000 IU per day.

From the previous comment they're stating anything over 150?
I will also add that my calcium levels were fine they were not elevated at all. My doctor did say that was definitely a good thing
Useless info when out of context. Giving numbers is difficult but if toxicity needs 40,000 IU a day in supplements and 8 litters of fortified milk a day then that would be such an outlier as to be of no concern to anyone. If it takes 1000 IU and 500ml of milk then there is a concern. As there seems to be almost universal vit D deficiency worldwide then I would be concentrating on that.
If your a 25 year old spry patient with a perfectly functioning body. I mean it's not like medecine today Is practiced on the older side of the population and vitamin toxicity is often taught and understood in relation to medical intervention. But then again the video might not be relevant, but relevant for you?

1- Are you a Medical Doctor?
2-There is no new scientific research in your video so I'm sure that you could NOT find any research that show vitamin D toxic effects and why don't you explain the benefit effect of vitamin D especially against covid-19 ?

I've read all the diverse comments, opinions and explanations of symptoms and every one are the same as the vaccine side effects. Do theirs coincide with receiving their vaccines? It happened to me. Heart problems Tinnitus, etc
i honestly dont know if the side effects are true, it seems be, but how many people are getting coerced and "hypocondrised" into having the same issues, that doesnt help!
What about Vitamin D3 with K2? Wil it help in somebody’s health? Instead of just taking Vitamin D3 alone.
Vitamin K2 helps, but I don't think it's necessary. They also say magnesium should be added to vitamin D and K2.
There's never a need to take K2 if you're taking excessive levels of D3. Take an appropriate amount of D3 and ignore all the people in youtube comments telling you to take yet another supplement trying to mitigate the excess they already told you to take, These people aren't your friends. They're just trying to get more money out of you by telling to buy more and different supplements. It's plainly a racket.

Vitamin D toxicity is a major worldwide problem. With people spending more and more time outside in the sun, refusing to use sunscreen and taking massive doses of vitamin D, toxicity is a ever growing problem that needs to be looked at a little closer.
Let's look at some statistics:
Vitamin D toxicity deaths...0
Vitamin D deficiency health problems and deaths...1,000,000,000 plus...
We have come to the conclusion that vitamin D toxicity is a major problem that needs to be addressed and believe the following governmental action should be taken:
Recommending sun avoidance
Mandatory sunscreen application
The banning of all vitamin D3 over the counter supplements
Vitamin D given by prescription only in doses less than the official RDA of 600 IU per day
Mandatory vitamin D education to warn about the toxic effect of the sun.

I told her to take rosemary as it's packed with vitamins a, d, e etc and also a powerful powerful antioxidant for the body and can supress cancer tumors. What are the implications of inorganic vitamin d, since for example inorganic calcium can reposition the fluid in your inner ear and can touch the part that keeps you in balance, which is not good. Also it can affect the heart negatively long term. So is this the inorganic type of vitamin d you are talking about?
I just took 2 tablets of vitamin d had an insane panic attack idk what to do
whats the Iu of those tablets?
Does anyone know if osteophytes (bone spur) occurs at a higher incidence if the person has higher levels of vitamin D?
Excellent
My sister has a D3 level of 355 nmol/L but her serum calcium levels are normal.
She also takes 5 mg of Vit K2 (helps move calcium into the bone) and plenty of magnesium (counter ion to calcium) as well.
She's been taking D3 50,000 IU every 4 days for about 12 months: She says it makes her feel better.
N.B. Most tests show a standard range of Vit D up to 250 nmol/L.
Journal articles suggest up to ~350 nmol/L D3 is not harmful.
It's not clear how much D3 you can reasonably take without any danger of hypercalcaemia:
Most incidences of hypercalcaemia involve dosing at much higher rates than 50,000 IU/day.
Most recommendations on avoiding hypercalcaemia (maximum daily intake of D3 and max levels in the blood) seem to be based on opinion as they do not provide any supporting references: Virtually nobody ever measures their serum calcium levels to check if a problem exists.

she can take manganese , its also help with calcium overload
@@lemercenairedelespace4199 She doesn't have calcium overload... we checked.

How vitamin D ist cause absorption and then resorption ...wants an explanation....
Thanks
been poisoned by too much V-D. Now after 1 year she still has physical complaints. The doctors in the Netherlands are not familiar with V-D poisoning and complaints.
Would you tell us more if there is treatment after a V-D poisoning.
we can contact you by phone for a fee to hear more from you or to help us with this.
I can leave my contact details if you are open to this.
thanks already.
I'm taking K2+D3 20,000IU daily. Men's multivitamin. Whey creatine magnesium citrate potassium citrate taurine. Chocolate milk. Raisins and nuts for boron and zinc. Feeling good 💪
Vitamin D "toxicity" is actually a deficiency of things like Magnesium and Vitamin K2 (not to be confused with K1). Anyone supplementing with D needs to also be taking a broad-spectrum multiple vitamin to pick up any co-factors that the D uses in doing its job. Double check that it has the K2 (which keeps Calcium off the arterial walls and tells it to go to the bones), as it has only recently started to be added to multiple vitamins. Magnesium is involved in many metabolic pathways and most people are deficient in it, too. For every two Calcium atoms in your bones, the bones also need one Magnesium atom to go with them.
How do you know how much “other stuff” to take though?
Am taking a multivitamin with k2 and magnesium with a separate d3 supplement is that ok to take?
I am taking 20mg per day now and I will see for how long.
I taken 60000iu tablets once a week up to 4 weeks total 4 tablets ,cause lower back and tailbone pain 😭
How are you now?
In hypocalcemia Vit D is activated by PTH and cause absorbtion from renal tubule and intestine but pth cause resorption of bone result is hypercalcemia that is ok...but what about the bones is there resorption or absorbtion ...I think vitd cause absorbtion but pth cause resorption what is the overall effect
Thank u ❤️
OMG, my father has many of these symptoms and because of covid prevention, I was giving him 10.000 IU for 3 months every day and 3 months every other day. Tomorrow I'll take him for blood work to check this.
How was the result ? How you managed ?
Milan no worries. I (56 year old) and my parents who are almost 80 years old were taking D3 supplement for almost a year at 12 000 IU every single day. I went to check my level of vitamin D3 and it was at 82. We are now taking 8000 IU (during winter months) and then we will be taking 4000 IU. I doubt your dad got to toxic level. Please let us know how did his blood work went.
cheers
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 Thank you. My father is ok. He is 77 with weak kidneys, high blood pressure, and gout from before. His vit D level were in high normal range, and he didn't got Vit d toxicity. It seems I overreacted, but it is better to check than take a risk. We stopped using vitamin D for a while, now taking 2000 IU but we didn't check recently. Thanks to God he is well and his health is stable.
@@MrGervasius good to hear that. Have you tried to convience your dad to KETO diet ? Dr. Ken Berry (channel: KenDBerryMD) has great RUclips videos about curing most problems including high blood pressure. Give it a try. My dad's health improved so much after going keto that he told me that he feels better now at 81 than when he was 60. Thanks to keto lifestyle.
cheers and good luck
@@zbawieniejestwieczne9013 Keto and low carb was good for me. I regulated high blood sugar with keto and low carb. Unfortunately, that is not good solution for my father. He has high blood pressure and gout from kidney weakness. If he eat a lot of meat he will get a gout attack so keto would not be good for him. Maybe some kind of vegetarian keto, but that would be hard to achieve. Anyway, thank you for your care and help. I appreciate it.
Could this be why I'm sooo anxious lately. My xanax doesn't help. I had covid in may and I take vitamin D after I had covid pneumonia..But I take 10,000 at times and 5,000 most days. My nerves and I cry all the time. I related it to the covid..I have chronic flare ups in my lungs and get short of breath. Today was 6 months and it was aweful..im still suffering
No connection at all.
vitaminD3 is not a medication to treat any virus infection, but is to prevent it. If you are deficient, and start to take D3 supplemnt, it takes 3 to 6 months to reachthe best rate in the body .
Rest. Avoid muscular exertion. Find a long hauler support group.
Shelley Lannon Prior to the virus did you have any underlying health problems & were you taking any supplements to try to boost your Immune System? Hope all goes well for you
@Khadim Afghan I never did a D3 test, I just take sun and supplement , and my health is perfect for more than 4 years
Please keep it up bro
Hmm, the red light here for me was the warning of psychiatric symptoms including depression. Did anyone tell him some depression is caused by Vit D deficiency? Or indeed, that deficiency is a factor in laying down of belly fat in men? So supplementation should bring a small weight loss? Or even that oily fish contains MORE Vit D than fortified milk? (Although I'd concede that may depend on where you are; some countries add more than others). Anyway, you wouldn't take high dose Vit D year round unless you were tested and found deficient without it, would you?
Depression score reduction; mild to severe; on 70mcg --> no score reduction, see

Yes but if you research this it is very rare and there are usually underlying issues like Williams disease which cause hypercalcemia.
@Mary Carroll my levels were 157 i was taking 50,000 iu a day. Stoped taking it levels went to 67 now at 60 had no idea i could become toxic.
@Mary Carroll Same with me calcium was normal.
@@fluffyflo2602 How long did it tale to lower your vit D level to 67?
Facts Only Not Mentioned in the Video: (1)The hypercalcemia is excess Calcium in the blood but that Calcium is REMOVED FROM THE BONES... WEAKENING THEM. The kidneys, arteries, heart valves etc. (soft tissues) get the glut of the excess Calcium. So the bones get weak and break more easily and the kidneys can get full of Calcium stones and Arteries, heart valves, etc, can all have horrible responses to excess Calcium in them (2) I consider the non thinking, non concerned medical doctors at fault for not doing their own research and instead prescribing large amounts of "lanolin" which is where the D3 comes from and endangering and harming people across the world. Some people I know will never take a supplement again from a health food or other store. (3) Vitamin D3 should never have been put on the market.We were fine with D2 a less deadly form of the hormone. (4) If you are going to avoid milk which is fortified with Vitamin D3, you may as well avoid cheeses and creams of all kinds as there is probably lots of fortification of the milks that go into making the creams, the lovely cheeses, etc. Even the animal feeds are fortified with Vitamin D3. (5) If you do a search for "rat poisons and cholecalciferol"(Vitamin D3), you find that many dogs are dying from eating the Vitamin D3 supplements and that D3 is said to be a very effective rat killer, and in several such products.
If you don’t want any problems with Calcium getting out of the bones …or with calcium getting in soft tissues most people not vegan take Vit D3 While the vegans take Vit D2…if someone
is supplementing. with Vit.D….they shouldn’t take more than 2,000 I.U. Per day if they don’t
have their level Vit.D ( 25(OH)D) levels in blood verified every 3-4 months..Also for every 2,000
I.U. Supplement Vit. D. someone has to take 100mcg Vitamin K2 Menaquinone7 (MK7) naturally fermented to prevent Problems with Calcium out of bones and calcium accumulating in soft tissues instead of the bones….
Make sure you take Vit.K2….don’t mistake by taking Vit K1 or VitK which is the same as K1
For helping with coagulation when someone has too thin blood that doesn’t coagulate
Normally…..As a matter of fact there should NEVER be Vit.K or. or Vit.K1 available on
shelves….they should be kept behind counters where only Pharmacists could give them
Only when they’ve been Rx by a G.P. or a specialist…
People who eat a little fermented food as sauerkraut or kimchi etc (google can help you with this
one)everyday don’t need Vit. K2 which is made from ? Fermented…
@Teri June, my wife has become very ill from taking Vit-D.
can you also tell us more about which physical complaints are permanent? Is more known about that? or do you know more about that?
We have already had so many medical examinations and the doctors find no cause for her complaints.
She has a lot of bone pain and she feels less in the left part of her body.
have people died from the effects of Vit-D poisoning? I can't find any information about that on the internet.
you would help us with more information. Many thanks already.

I went to doctors and was dismissed. My condition got worse after I took vitamin d 50000iu as directed by the doctor. I kept getting odd systems after that, my entire body was so tight. My abdomen swell up and went down. I went to ER when I felt a pull like a pull, it feels like my vein. Doctor asked me to do a ct scan but radiology was shut so I went back to the doctor that prescribed me the vitamin d, my abdomen wasn’t swelling however it’s harder than usual. At this point I told a friend, he asked me to drink 3L of warm water. I felt super dehydrated and thirsty all the time.
Before I took 50000 IU I actually asked if there are possibilities of overdose, he told me no although the instructions actually state 25000 IU once every 6 weeks.
He passed my case to general surgeon and I got scolding when my blood test seems quite normal. In my country I’m not sure if there is a toxicity test. But my urine markers changed before & after I took it.
I thought ok I should be fine. Things got worse. I started getting more cramp especially on legs. Pain on bones & certain areas. I noticed a round lump on my wrist vein and then under rib cage now I see it on one of my leg.
I’m really worried that it has caused venous insufficiency. But I went to a cardiologist and endocrinologist my case was dismissed. They suspect it’s my anxiety that’s causing this unexplained pain when I told them I’m on medication. I started developing some varicose veins on my feet.
At this point I’m not sure which doctor I should see. I’ve been using sound healing everyday to deal with unexplained pain. When I take supplements the pain I think it’s my vein / blood vessels get worse. I bought a supplement for lymph and it didn’t helped. Ginger drink helped a bit. Vitamin C is ok.
I’m not sure if I want to get supplement for vein, natto or k2?
I pray all of us will be able to heal. I told myself to keep a positive mind but sometimes the pain can be unbearable. Stay strong those who are impacted. Trust that we can heal. I also believe in tcm. I was drinking safflower with hot water. The hardened part on the inner elbow is abit softer. But I get acidic because I have gastric issues.
Try drinking 3L slight warm water for those who feels dehydrated. Our kidneys will readjust. I was peeing alot and it got much better.
❤ & light to all.
Try going to a wellness therapist/ wellness doctor, they conduct tests and put you on detox treatment if they see your liver is full of toxins

The Institutes of Medicine specifies 10,000 IU/day as the “No Observed Adverse Effect (NOAE) Level” - an intake that is not advisable, but which is not considered objectively harmful either.
The Endocrine Society provides recommendations for vitamin D requirements and dietary intake, and list “sufficiency” as 30 to 100 ng/mL.
UCLA Endocrine Center Vitamin D 25,hydroxyl recommendation of 30-80 ng/mL.
Quest Diagnostics and Lab Corp list 30 to 100 ng/mL. as “optimal” levels.
Vitamin D Testing | Quest Diagnostics (FAQ section of their Clinical Education Center web page)
Endocrine Society’s practice guidelines on vitamin D state that vitamin D intoxication is usually not observed until serum 25(OH)D levels are more than 150 ng/mL.
What a crοοk!
Yes and no. It all depends on where you live. I'm in Canada, which is the poster child for MS. MS, as you should know, increases with latitude... and vanishes with indigenous (fish oil) diet. My neighbour hates doctors for that reason: quote: "I lost the ten best years of my life". (She was diagnosed at age 20) How did she cure the "incurable" disease? 2,500 IU of vitamin D per day. Her doctors were out to lunch. It is amazing (to me) the number of people who will look you in the eye and mumble that their MS is "incurable". Well, if it is incurable, what do you have to lose? It isn't as though your doctor has a working treatment for you.
It is also going to be affected by how much sun you allow on your skin, and when. If you go out in a fig leaf, your body will create between 20,000 and 30,000 units half way to burn. I take about 4,000 units as supplements, and anything more as fish oil. Yes, I have always had to get up in the middle of the night to pee... and have always taken supplements, but again, I don't go out to tan, and in winter, obviously, I do not expose myself to any sun we might have.
The third point involves covid. The initial study, from the University of Cordoba, found that if you were given 3 doses of calcifidiol (what Vitamin D3 becomes in your liver) upon admission to hospital, day 3, and day 7 with covid of 25,000 units, you did not end up in the ICU (actually, one in 54 people did) and nobody died. Of those (in the study) who did not get the supplement, 50% ended up in ICU and 2 died. The odds of this being a false positive were less than 4 in 10,000. Which is incredibly low. Is it any wonder why so many oldies in rest homes died? Well, the diet is terrible, and they never strip in the sunlight. Please note the obvious: different people have different needs. Not everyone is Canada has MS.
I have had covid once, and started taking about 20,000 units a day the moment I realized I had been infected, on Friday morning. All I wanted to do was sleep... but by 3 am Sunday I realized I was no longer sleepy. I continued taking it at near that level for about 3 weeks: until the covid pneumonia stopped coming back if I missed a supplement. (I was taking about 4000 units every couple of hours in the day time). My sense of smell came back after about 8 days. (I was denied anti-virals because I'm 70 and have no co-morbidities. My doctor subsequently said "Well, you came through that easily", and I replied, "Yes, but you didn't know that in advance")
Since Vitamin D moderates over 3,500 genes in the human genome, you had better get enough.
fortified milk has D2 , but not D3 . And just D3 comes from the sun , the others D are from food.
D2 is vegetable sourced, D3 is animal. D2 decays faster, whereas D3 can be stored in your body fat for longer.
This is not enough if you are deficient
Most people who experience vitamin D toxicity, is because they cannot absorb the active form. You need to be taking vitamin K2, and also very important, Magnesium also!
Great video 👍
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your efforts.

Plz plz guide me....
@@PawanKumar-on1mo I can only share my personal story and approach, I'm not a medical doctor, so please filter through medical advice, if you have access to it. So: My toxic-Vit D levels were 250 nmol - and yes, I felt awful: headache and brain fog, muscle aches, overall just fatigued and unwell. When I realised this, I had cut out all Vit D supplements, Omega 3/fishoil (as it supports Vit D production apparently) and calcium (as too much Vit D interferes with Calcium absorption and we are at risk of depositing calcium in places it doesn't belong, like joints and kidneys). Next to cutting out all supplements, I also cut out: Most of the Vit D and calcium containing foods out of my diet for 3 months. No fish or seafood (as it's high in Vit D), no diary, butter etc - it was hard, but worth it. I felt continuously better and re-tested my levels 3.5 months after the initial 'shock' result and I'm naturally down to 50nmol. Mind you, I live in a climate with little sunshine, so it probably helped with dropping my values.
I'm fine now!! It was the cheapest and most natural way that I know of. I hope it will help you, too.
@@PawanKumar-on1mo ...just to add: The most effective way for me to adjust my diet (apart from cutting out the obvious supplements) was to google: What foods are high in Vit D? And what foods are high in calcium? And then, cut out those foods as much as possible to lower the levels asap. 3 months of doing this really did the trick for me. You won't feel better "immediately" but give this a few weeks and most importantly "Trust the process". It worked really well for me, and I hope you'll feel the relief too 🙏

Yeah just wait until you take it and then get too much because you didn’t get your blood tested because “what could it hurt” let me tell you it can hurt a lot of things. Please get your blood tested before taking vitamin d and get a recommendation for dosage by a doctor.
@@yupyup8506 that’s always my advice to people but they shouldn’t wait for a test. They should begin immediately with a safe dose because it would be rare to not be low. Testing is always best to confirm. I’ve never hear of anyone being too high tho. Do you have experience with that?
I have toxic levels of vitamin D of 335 my originally toxic levels was 329 3 weeks ago and the doctor took my levels again two weeks later and that's when they had went up to 335 after I was trying to be on a low calcium diet and trying to restrict my vitamin D intake my doctor said he don't know how to help me cause he'se not familiar with what I should be eating with toxic levels of vitamin D so he referred me to a dietitian and she said she couldn't help me either because they didn't teach them much about vitamin D toxicity when she was in school I don't want my level to continue to go up I did buy the vitamin K2 like you recommended I just don't know what to eat to lower my vitamin D levels in my body at the same time keep my calcium from getting too high as well. Could you please give me some type of menu/diet/foods that I can eat during this time that my levels are 335 that will allow my vitamin D levels to go down while eating
Why are your VitD levels high, as that's not possible unless you're taking additional VitD through supplements?
But if your Calcium is high at the same time you'd need to have your Parathyroid hormone levels checked as that forces calcium concentrations to be high at the same time as high VitD.
This isn't a matter of diet or supplements. You need your doctor to refer you to an endocrinologist to check it out further as it's not a trivial matter.
Over 300ng? How are you now?
@thomassabac4382 I'm healed! the doctors couldn't help me and was not educated on high levels toxic levels of vitamin D I just prayed and trusted God and instead of taking two years to bring them down.

I was dine for 3 months but since last month I started having back and leg pain again Is was mild but since 5 days it become severe, I feel so much weakness,fatigue and a shortness of breathe. I would feel like I am dying. And today i test my vit D Level again and it is 109 which is very toxic. So i am wondering are all these symptoms and shortness of breathe is due to vit D deficiency?? Plz share your experience
How r u now?
What I'f you have have overly high D levels (above reference range) and you don't even supplement vit D?
Usually hypervitaminosis d occurs because the individual has other issues or illnesses. Overdosing on vitamin d alone is not likely to cause toxicity
I didt give my son any vitamin d but e ad brain tumour, and they gaveextra milk at school.he a bone pain. To.
Vitamin d normal rang kitna hona chiye adult femel me.
What blood level of vitamin d is excessive?
It would probably depend on age, frame size, how much you exercise and how much sun you get per day.
IMO, greater than 100ng is entering the 'caution' zone. Although even that is generally safe. 200ng is likely a bad place to be, where you will be at some moderate risk.

Interesting .... my D level in 2012 was 29 ng/mL (too low). I then started supplementing 1,000 IU then 5,000 IU per day and got to 41 ng/mL in 2017. This past year, without any testing since 2017, I decided to increase my daily 5,000 IU Vitamin D3 supplement to 10,000 IU from about January to May due to winter weather then went back to 5,000 IU. I have been miserable for the past year and half. Pain in my hips, groin, inner thighs, hip flexors, bunions on the outside of my feet, pulled muscle feelings, weakness, depression, overall lethargy despite exercising daily. Just had my annual exam labs done and even before seeing the doctor she emailed me to tell me to switch to every other day if I am supplementing Vitamin D as it is too high: 70 ng/mL. I cant take Vitamin K2 due to high platelets but the good news is my blood test showed calcium level smack dab in the middle of normal. I will reluctantly go to every other day D3 supplements at 5,000 IU per day and hopefully will feel better. These symptoms sound almost like how I feel. I thought a D level of 70 would not cause problems. Of course I might have been much higher coming off the 10,000 winter cycle I was on. Great video.
