That’s over double the dose considered “safe”. Obviously, I’m not suggesting you do otherwise; it’s just way outside the bounds of what most adults would do unless directed to by their physician.
- Auracle 3y agoI’m prescribed 50,000 3x a week. The RDA was possibly miscalculated, but the only real way to know what will work for you is test - dose - test, repeat.
- yesbut 3y agoFor context, this study found that 30 minutes of midday summer sun exposure in Oslo, Norway was equivalent to consuming 10,000–20,000 IU of vitamin D. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19667143 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19667143 Must be much higher in sunnier regions.
- amenhotep 3y agoThe neat thing about vitamin D synthesis in the skin is that it stops once there's enough of it - it is literally impossible to overdose on vitamin D through sun exposure. So, there's a ceiling that makes "must be higher in sunny regions" far from obviously true!
