Comment on How important is vitamin D drops to be under the tongue?

Please keep in mind that according to the Mayo Clinic a normal adult needs no more than 600 UI per day.

It’s not a water-soluble vitamin so you can take too much and cause harm.

Disclosure: I just looked this up yesterday after buying a Buy 1/Get 1 of 220 doses of 2000 UI vitamin D! I thought it was water-soluble, and I could just take it and excrete what my body didn’t need. I bought enough to kill myself, many times over…

  Interesting report. Two concerning bits though:
  
  No attempt was made to distinguish between vitamin D2 and D3 because there was not always a distinction in the literature. However, vitamin D2 is less effective at raising serum 25(OH)D concentrations than is vitamin D3 (13).
  
  And that the group sizes (“n” values) top out in just one at 1653. The rest are usually under 20.
  
  Which doesn’t matter in the slightest as my post was to simply make the OP aware that too much can be harmful.
  
  Your post simply raises the bar on how much is too much, but doesn’t change the underlying point I was trying to make.
  
  Thank you for posting that report!
