According to Schleiger, vitamin D supplements may interact with certain medications, including corticosteroids and medications for seizures or high cholesterol. She also adds that high-dose supplements might not be suitable for people with specific health conditions, such as hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis or kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s possible to consume too much vitamin D3, it\u2019s rare. \u201cVitamin D toxicity from supplementation exists but you have to try really, really, really hard,\u201d says Dr. White. \u201cFor example, there are clinical trials where patients are given 100,000 to even 600,000 IUs (International Units) in bolus doses without side effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, taking extremely high doses of vitamin D for an extended period can cause vitamin D toxicity, which can lead to elevated levels of calcium in the blood, Schleiger explains. \u201c[This] can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, weakness, excessive thirst, frequent urination and, in severe cases, kidney stones or organ damage,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The upper tolerable limit for supplementation is 4,000 International Units per day, according to Dr. White. And while he does note that this amount is most likely conservative, 4,000IU is still more than most people need to take.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the recommended dosage guidelines and regular monitoring of vitamin D levels through blood tests can help ensure safe and effective supplementation,\u201d says Schleiger.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How can Medeze Medical Vietnam help you?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our specialists at Medeze Medical can diagnose Vitamin D deficiencies through a simple blood test.
