Isn't 10,000IU way above the recommended limit? I went through a bottle this past winter (at the recommended dosage) and didn't notice a change in either direction, but was a bit confused during the research phase since everyone seems to use a wildly different dosage.

edit: I also found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878761 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35878761 which suggests higher levels are safe, as long as you're not eating D3 pills like kettle chips. So I guess that answers it, though my points stands about there being such a wide range of info
- nradov 3y agoThere is no real "recommended" dosage for vitamin D supplements. There is a recommended blood level of 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) - 125 nmol/L (50 ng/mL). Supplements should be titrated to reach that level, and the necessary dosage can vary tremendously based on ultraviolet light exposure, genetics, diet, and other factors. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/ https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/
