- Dylan16807 6y ago> That platitude is not that helpful. And neither is a report simply saying it is possible to overdose on vitamin D. Which was the point of the comment.
- opo 6y agoNot really sure your point. Are you saying that there is no upper safe limit for B12 for all people? >...Case details: A young woman was treated with multiple daily doses of 1 mg of cyanocobalamin for severe pernicious anemia. After a total dose of 12 mg, she developed acne, palpitations, anxiety, akathisia, facial ruddiness, headache, and insomnia. She improved two weeks after stopping the drug. There were no sequelae nor complications.Discussion: Although these symptoms of cobalamin toxicity were unexpected and unusual, the case reminds us that the administration of any drug is not entirely safe. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31018715/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31018715/
