I hope you're getting blood tests, as this is enough to put most people into Hypervitaminosis D range if continued for long enough.
More is not always better when it comes to supplements.
- lambdaba 4y agoI know where you heard that, but it's really not. Well, not if you don't already have some issue that would lead you there. Plus the symptoms of hypervitaminosis D are obvious (constipation, thirst...). There's stories of people getting hypervitaminosis D after, like 2-3 weeks on 1 MILLION units per day. Probably still a good idea to add vitamin K2 to that, but I already get a lot of it in my diet. And you can also easily more than 20KIU vitamin D by sunbathing.
