That is ~30k IU Vitamin D3 a day, isn’t it? That’s an astonishingly outlier amount of D3 to be taking. The author strongly recommends against that much in a previous thread.[0]

- krick 6y agoYeah, that's like a really fucking lot. I was taking maybe half of that when I was extremely deficient, and about 3k currently (which I guess is still a bit more than I need, I just didn't take a blood test in a long time and assume I'm a tiny bit below the norm). And I weight way more than 60 kg you used for calculation.
- baccheion 6y agoIt's not a "blanket" (ie, time-tested) dose. On the other hand, Multiple Sclerosis patients take much much higher amounts without many issues. I've been taking at least 60,000 IU/day (no health issues) since the beginning of 2018, with some bouts of ~100,000 IU. The only issues from higher amounts of D3 stem from perturbation of calcium (increasing) and magnesium (decreasing) levels. Mainly addressed by swapping their RDAs.
