Over 10,000 IU of vitamin D at once?
Hello!
After a blood test, my family doctor prescribed me vitamin D tablets, each containing 0.266 mg of the vitamin. That's equivalent to over 10,000 units, and I should take one tablet every two weeks.
Isn't that too much at once or have I miscalculated?
Best regards
This is a depot, then it equals 5000 units per week and that’s all right. I’ll take 2000 a day. Other depots have 7000 units for a week, so yours is still relatively low dosed.
Okay. Thank you.
I don’t know if you’ve been charged, but in general nothing speaks against 10,000ie at once, I take 5,000ie per day
Isn’t that too much? The daily requirement is 800 I.E.
A tablet every 2 weeks is well dosed. You shouldn’t take a tablet every day. Keep in touch with your doctor’s requirements.
vitamin d can be strongly overdosed in healthy people without any side effects
Where did you hear that? The body can work off the 10-fold dose without any problems, including due to the extremely long half-life
WTF is wrong with you??? Vitamin D is one of the 4 vitamins that can be extremely easily overdosed with REAL side effects
No, I don’t take them every day. I read that the daily requirement is 800 I.E., so I’m scared first. There can be dangerous calcium deposits when overdosed, I have read.
Thank you.
The sufficient daily dosage in winter is about 1000 iE per day. But even 2000 iE daily do not harm.
