"too much is as bad as too little" ~~ this is what the media pushes out with countless articles. As a result, people get gun shy and take 600-1000 IU's/day which does next to nothing.
I agree that you will get sick if you go crazy taking a ton of it. But I've listened to many people remark that they're not sure they've ever heard of anyone dying from Vit. D overdose. I even heard of someone taking the liquid form and accidently ingesting millions of IU's over a period of time and he got hospitalized, realized his calculation error, and then fully recovered.
Pharma articles constantly scare monger people into small doses because our low Vitamin D epidemic is good for their business.
They do the same with iodine. The RDA is 150mcg/day, that's just enough to keep you from developing goiter. I witnessed a direct change in myself then a friend after starting 6.25mg/day and it only took a couple days to notice the difference. Friend (marine veteran) had panic attacks and depression. He said it was like someone lifted a weight off him.
Hey thanks for the info. I am starting to look into Iodine myself now.
It is not like a drug overdose that would down you all of a sudden, more to do with it affecting certain organs over time, same with most Vit and other systems (adrenaline++, highblood pressure ++) in your body running too high or too low for too long. I hear what you are saying though, low dose should be fine for everyone unless a specific person has a reason to not take it, such as, they run high already. heh. Again, mine had tanked out years ago so they put me on the super high once a week dose for a couple weeks and I have been taking a higher dose since then, I do not go into the dr often but, last checked in the summer and my levels were doing good still.
