As in you don't see all the positive health outcomes correlated with high serum Vitamin D if you supplement. You just effectively prevent things like Rickets.

>>3808I had one enough for a doctor to say I needed to take it, so I guess that counts. It was years ago and I recently switched to these drops because I heard Vitamin D and K2 help the other get absorbed.
It's indeed hard to say if supplements work unless you were deficient. It's not like you wake up and appreciate having 3% higher usable Vitamin ___ for your ___ organ.
I've seen some people insist that multivitamins don't even do anything when you compare it to getting it from actual food.

>>3817Multivitamins are for when you're not able to get it from actual food. If it's as effective as nutrients from food then that's extremely high praise, although I very much doubt it's that absorbable.

>The patient took a compounded cholecalciferol supplement. Overdose was found by laboratory analysis of the capsules that contained 4,000,000IU instead of 2,000IU per capsule.Ouch.
>In another report, a patient was diagnosed as acute renal failure secondary to hypercalcemia, and had normal PTH and increased vitamin D levels.(3) Investigating the medications the patient was taking, it was observed that the vitamin D3 vial contained 50,000IU per capsule instead of 1,000IU. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4891171/#B9So seems like 50,000 IU is the minimum recorded overdose.
I'd stay away from approaching 40,000 IU, personally. Plus I'm too lazy and broke to supplement with vit K2. So personally I don't ever go over 12,000 IU, although I do feel like I might be under dosing when I don't take 8,000 IU.
