Learn more about vitamin D toxicity and the top signs of vitamin D overdose.
Today we’re going to talk about vitamin D toxicity and the signs you’re taking too much vitamin D. It’s important to keep in mind that the dangers of vitamin D deficiency outweigh the dangers of getting too much vitamin D. It’s also very difficult to overdose on vitamin D. Vitamin D works with other factors that support its function and absorption. Certain amounts of vitamin D can potentially have side effects but can be made safe by adjusting the cofactors. Magnesium and vitamin K2 are the main cofactors that help keep higher levels of vitamin D from becoming toxic. It’s also important to drink plenty of water. The side effects of vitamin D toxicity typically start to occur when a person is consuming hundreds of thousands of international units (IU) of vitamin D for many weeks. The #1 sign of vitamin D overdose: • Calcification Other signs of vitamin D overdose: • Kidney stones • Nerve symptoms (numbness, pain, or tingling) • Excessive thirst • Excessive urination In my opinion, it seems that many cases of vitamin D toxicity occur because of a person consuming too much vitamin D2—not vitamin D3. There are some big differences between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. I also don’t think people will see the same benefits after taking vitamin D2 that they would if they took vitamin D3. A few things you need to know about vitamin D2: • It’s not as effective as D3 • It’s not as bioavailable as D3 • It’s not as studied as D3 • It doesn’t help prevent fractures like D3 can • It does help reverse rickets (in infants) • It has a different effect on depression than D3 • It doesn’t affect the immune system like D3 can
