My grandma went to the ER due to feeling nauseous and confused and they concluded it was Vitamin D toxicity from supplementation. She heard online that it’d help her avoid catching the flu.
Just a reminder that you should get a blood test and advice from a medical professional before taking anything above the daily recommended amount.
- Noaidi 11mo agoI agree 100%. But even with a blood test you need to be careful! I was taking 1000iu (doctors orders after a blood test) for about a month and it made my calcium spike above the normal range. I have freaky genes when it comes to Vitamin D and should have been taking more Vitamin K7 with it. But I now get it all from seafood, mostly salmon, since salmon also contains calcitonin [1].
