- exhilaration 6y agoThis submission from a few weeks back argued that it is very possible to take too much: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24261948 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24261948
- icelancer 6y agoThis is definitely not true. Elevated blood calcium and creatinine levels are definitely possible if you take too much, and people are sensitive at different rates.
- perl4ever 6y agoI tried taking some Vitamin D alone, and I rapidly got a very uncomfortable sensitivity in my teeth. I thought maybe this has something to do with what it does to calcium. So I tried a combination calcium + Vitamin D capsule, and it didn't seem to have the same effect. Maybe the second one is safe, but I'm wondering what was going on and if there are potential drawbacks to either one.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoThat's weird I've been taking vitamin D (2000iu) per day and haven't had anything like that. I do get lots of calcium though via cheese and dairy products (I'm one of the few people I know that will actually drink a glass of milk fearlessly)
