That was informative. The doctor appears to be quite neutral. Take home message - take your vitamin D.
Isnt that vitamin A? As I understand it your standard vitamin D3 pill is about 1000 "units" whereas 15minutes in the sun with your arms exposed is about 20,000 units produced by the body. QED it is highly unlikely you can overdose given the body produces it at a rate of a whole bottle of pills a day if you spend the afternoon in the sun. (A garbled response but you get the idea, overdose is unlikely, the problem is underdosing if you follow the bottle instructions at one pill a day).
The 4 fat soluble vitamins are A D E K
The rest are all water soluble so you just pee them out. But if you take too much vitamin c you may get kidney stones.
You're right its very hard to overdose on vitD. When you recieve massive amounts of it via sunlight and food your body can regulate it through natural biological and chemical processess.
Where people run into trouble is over doing it on a medical prescription of 50k units. Usually this is prescibed to people who are chronically low on vitD over a period of months or years (this could also be a sign of something else is wrong).
This can be prescribed as something like one pill twice a week. People can mess this up and do 50k units a day by accident. That could lead to kidney problems like stones.
Stay natural - God made us this way to handle all such things. The human body is an amazing daily display of His power and glory! Be amazed.
