Hi Everyone,
I know you all have a tremendous amount of information between you so I'm sure someone will be able to help!!
Some of the side effects of taking so much vitamin D can be kidney stones and the build up of calcium around the heart. I was just wondering how are people protecting themselves from this? I'm taking 10000 iu's per day and took the mega dose but won't be able to have another blood test for a year when I go back to see my neurologist. My levels were 97 nmol (in UK) before I took the mega dose. I want my levels to stay around the 180 mark.
I've read the research that confirms large doses are safe but these people were under medical supervision, I'm not!!!
The reason I'm worried is that a good friend of mine takes Vit D for a bone condition. Her consultant, an expert on Vit D (he lectures about the epidemic we have of low levels of vit D in the UK) was really concerned about the levels I was taking when my friend mentioned the dose. Thanks,
