I don't see any warnings about VITAMIN D OVERDOSE problems in this Article. Vitamin D is cumulative. My wife, an ER Nurse, says the body uses Vitamin D when in sunlight. All it takes is 15 minutes of exposure daily to the face or hands to give what the body needs.

Yes, watch out for the panacea crowd and for the Side Effect problems to be ignored.

Your body uses Vitamin D all the time.
Your body can make Vitamin D in the sunlight, but ONLY if the sun is 60 degrees or more above the horizon, which is for all practical purposes, directly overhead.

Of you can, please point me at the websites that have documented cases of Vitamin D overdose.
Thanks!

Doing a searches for vitamin D indicates vitamin D deficiency is rampant and vitamin D overdose is very rare.

“Acute overdose requires between 15,000 µg/d (600,000 IU per day) and 42,000 µg/d (1,680,000 IU per day) over a period of several days to months, with a safe intake level being 250 µg/d (10,000 IU per day).”

Hypercalcemia & Vitamin D overdose

Last month there were some articles in the news that large dose Vitamin D is not good, perhaps some of those articles were posted at FR.

I wonder how many docs would even recognize Vitamin D overload?
