At first my reaction was this must have been a one-off case, usually I see D3 in bottles with 500IU, who is taking 10 vitamins thinking this is right?
But I looked it up and there are 5,000IU capsules being marketed now. That seems like a problem. People are going to naturally expect 1-3 pills of anything are safe. Dangerous design.
FDA does take complaints/reports, I wonder if enough people complained they would pull the high dose pills.
- KerryJones 6y agoI've talked to multiple nutritionists and they often recommend 5,000IU a day -- we shouldn't be going off gut reaction. There are widespread surveys that show high vitamin D3 deficiency and there are many more stories of people who have taken this vitamin at that dose for years without problems. The point is, we need more than stories. We need study and analysis, not a random call to change the definition because of a story.
- exhilaration 6y agoFWIW I take one of those 5000 IU capsules - but I take it every Monday.
