Just a FYI ;) It is possible to overdose on Vitamin D, because it's a fat-soluble vitamin. But you'd have to take 60,000 units a day for several months.
What is vitamin D toxicity? Should I be worried about taking supplements?
Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.
Vitamin D toxicity is usually caused by large doses of vitamin D supplements — not by diet or sun exposure.
The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.
No problem. You can take two of those a week and do just fine. Your body will store some excess Vitamin D in the cells, which is where it needs to be anyway.
Make sure you take a d3 supplement with k2 in it. That helps the distribution of it to go to the right places. It doesn’t need to be a high amount. One of my D3s has k2 in it and the other doesn’t. I take them at the same time. Dr Ken D Berry or Dr Eric Berg on YouTube (I know...) have tons of information re: good vitamins and what not. Worth checking out
If you are already low on vit D, it can take three weeks to reach a protective level.
My daily regime is:
D3 5000iu
K2 200ug
Zinc citrate 30mg
Magnesium citrate 400mg
Boron (trace amount)
For boron, I put one heaped teaspoon of boracic acid powder ("foot powder" from my pharmacy) into boiling water then dilute that down with cold water to make a pint. I take one capful per day in coffee.
Check the dosage. Mine are 4,000 units and I'm going to start doubling the dose after seeing this. I was taking 1 a day and am moving to 2 a day.

Good info. I got some of those 20,000 IU bottles recently and then read that too high of doses can cause anxiety. Oops.
