Unfortunately there are a lot of places online that will recommend 5000 units a day or more. And at the store, one of the standard doses for Vit D is 5000 units. I have this dose in my medicine cabinet. And it's not a completely unreasonable dose. Shannon actually did need 5000 units daily - just not for five years. The problem is that no one knew to reconsider it, or look for elevated calcium.

Yeah and one of those places is definitely HN - I've seen crazy recommendations here when it comes to supplements/nutrition. I'd guess there will even be some in this thread.

Many countries have higher safe dosage limits for vit D than the US.
