Most people don’t get enough vitamin D, so supplements are common.
However, it’s also possible, although rare, for this vitamin to build up and reach toxic levels in your body.
Vitamin D is involved in calcium absorption, immune function, protecting our bones, muscles and heart health.
It occurs naturally in food and is also be produced by your body when your skin is exposed to sunlight
• Aside from fatty fish, there are few foods rich in vitamin D, so many foods have to fortified with Vitamin D
Very few people get enough sun exposure to produce adequate levels of vitamin D
• Deficiency is very common, it’s estimated that about 1 billion people worldwide don’t get enough vitamin D
• However, taking extremely high doses of vitamin D3 for long periods MAY and I stress MAY lead to an excessive build-up in your body
• Vitamin D toxicity occurs when blood levels rise above 150 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). Thankfully Vitamin D toxicity isn’t common and occurs almost exclusively in people who take long-term, high-dose supplements without monitoring their blood levels. Achieving adequate levels of vitamin D in your blood may help boost your immunity and protect you from diseases like osteoporosis, cancer and in 2 recent studies against COVID-19 too; however, there isn’t agreement on an optimal range for adequate levels
• Although a vitamin D level of 30 ng/ml is typically considered adequate, the Vitamin D Council recommends maintaining levels of 40–80 ng/ml and states that anything over 100 ng/ml may be harmful
• While an increasing number of people are supplementing with vitamin D, it’s rare to find someone with very high blood levels of this vitamin.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from the food you eat.
• However, if vitamin D intake is excessive, blood calcium may reach levels that can cause unpleasant and potentially dangerous symptoms
Symptoms of high blood calcium levels (or hypercalcemia) include:
o digestive distress, such as vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain
o fatigue, dizziness and confusion
o excessive thirst
o and frequent urination
Many side effects of too much vitamin D are related to excessive calcium in the blood. These include nausea, vomiting and poor appetite, however, these symptoms don’t occur in everyone with elevated calcium levels
• Stomach pain, constipation and diarrhea are common digestive complaints that are often related to food intolerances or irritable bowel syndrome.
However, they can also be a sign of elevated calcium levels caused by vitamin D toxicity
• These symptoms may occur in those receiving high doses of vitamin D to correct a deficiency.
As with other symptoms, response appears to be individualized even when vitamin D blood levels are similarly elevated.
Because vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone metabolism, getting enough is crucial for maintaining strong and healthy bones.
However, too much vitamin D can be detrimental to bone health.
• To protect against bone loss, avoid taking excessive vitamin D supplements and take a vitamin K2 supplement too
• You can also eat foods rich in vitamin K2, such as grass-fed dairy and meat, vegans may need to supplement
• Even if you follow a healthy diet, you may require supplements to achieve optimal Vitamin D levels. However, it’s also possible to have too much of a good thing
• Make sure to avoid excessive doses of vitamin D. Generally, 4,000 IU or less per day is considered safe, but only as long as your blood values are being monitored
• In addition, make sure you purchase supplements from reputable manufacturers to reduce the risk of accidental overdose due to inaccurate labeling
• If you’ve been taking vitamin D supplements and are experiencing any of the symptoms I have mentioned, please consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible
• Get a blood test and only supplement with what you need
