An 89-year-old retired businessman died from an “overdose” of Vitamin D supplements that did not warn about the risks of excessive intake.

David Mitchener from Oxted, Surrey, reportedly had fatally high levels of Vitamin D when he was brought to the East Surrey Hospital last year in May and was suffering from hypercalcaemia – a build-up of calcium in the body associated with taking too much vitamin D.

He died ten days later.

okay I found one guy saying he was doing 30,000 daily

another person saying 20-40,000 daily

another person saying 10,000 3x/day

another person saying he was doing 100,000/day for a while but now at 20-30,000 daily

a lot of other people saying they're taking massive doses, but only for temporary time periods

I know nothing about vitamin d but I take like 1000 daily. I was doing 2000 daily for a long time but my doctor said that's probably unnecessary. I was mostly just astounded at seeing how much vitamin d some people were taking.
