Let’s talk about how to get the benefits of vitamin D without the toxicity. The danger of vitamin D stems from too much calcium in the blood. Hypercalcemia is the big side effect of too much vitamin D.

Hypercalcemia could potentially lead to:
• Kidney stones
• Constipation
• Frequent urination
• Dementia
• Depression
• Ulcers
• Abdominal pain

However, these potential side effects can be reversible if someone stops taking vitamin D. It’s also rare for someone to have vitamin D toxicity. When vitamin D is measured in the blood, if it’s greater than 150, that can indicate toxicity.

A few things to help prevent vitamin D toxicity:
1. Vitamin K2 (100mcg for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D)
• Vitamin D needs other things like vitamin K2 to work. Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium out of the soft tissues.

2. Bile salts
• Bile salts are important to help with the absorption of vitamin D.

3. Drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid per day
• This should be enough to help keep the calcium from forming kidney stones.

4. Magnesium
• Magnesium and vitamin D work together. It’s very important in the metabolism of vitamin D.

5. Limit dairy
• Limit the amount of dairy you consume when you take a lot of vitamin D.

Amounts of vitamin D you may want to consider taking:
• For maintenance: 10,000-20,000 IUs
• For therapeutic purposes (short term use): 20,000-50,000 IUs

Vitamin D toxicity is very rare. But, vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is extremely common. 65% of the population has a vitamin D deficiency, and 95% of the population has a vitamin D insufficiency.
