Worst case is actually vitamin d toxicity. You can take too much.
- D-Coder 6y agoI looked into that when I was told to take 2,000 IU daily, since I had no idea what an IU of vitamin D involved. A web search said that people who were taking megadoses of vitamin D, which was mislabeled and actually 10 times stronger than what they thought they were getting, started developing problems in a month or so. It's available right off the shelf. As long as people aren't taking an entire bottle all at once, it seems pretty safe to me. (Disclaimer: Dammit Jim, I'm a software engineer, not a doctor.)
- jonplackett 6y agoDrinking too much water will kill you too. The point I’m making is there is basically no drawback to giving people a normal, healthy, vitamin D supplement. Plus possible upsides.
- blithedale 6y agoExcept the dosing in this study is a massive supra-physiological bolus that's something like 50x the daily RDV.
