Vitamin D Good For The Heart?

such BS to say that more than 400 or 600 IU of Vitamin D causes Vit. D toxicity.

in fact most people need much more!

vitamin d toxicity may show up at levels above 30.000 or 40.000 IU each day over longer period of time...

@TimewarpLabs 1 IU of vitamin D3 is only 0.025mcg (microgram) . I have seen vitamin D3 products contain 2000 IU, which is only 50mcg or 0.050mg. Even if we do 10,000 IU (multiply by 5) that is still only 250mcg or 0.25, 1/4 mg.

So 400 or 600 IU that would only be 10mcg or 15mcg. So he said beyond 400 or 600 IU of vitamin D, your body would have vitamin D toxicity? I doubt it.

Medical correspondents will say anything to keep the money rolling in.

There is no toxicity with vitamin D, that doctor is not going to mention that, after all they are connected to big pharma.

[Adios959]

that doctors name should be LaPoo, cause that's what hes talking, its very difficult to get vitamin D toxic, he should know that, that stupid idiot, he must work for the drug companies.

of course he works for big pharma why the hell would he say such bullshit plus sunlight is the best source of vitamin D and Vitamin D helps cure the cancer but sunlight is only a risk to those with very poor health but if you are taking vit d and half way healthy the sun has more benifits than cancer risk!

The current daily RDA for vitamin D (400-600 IU) is way

too low. The doctor (Jon LaPook) mentions taking too much

vitamin D can be harmful yet does not say at what levels

does it become toxic.

Experts now are saying to take 2,000 IU to 4,000 IU of the D3 form of Vitamin D.

Humans (Whites in particular) make at least 10,000 units of vitamin D within 30 minutes of full body exposure to the sun.

Lethal levels of toxicity occur when you obtain 20,000 IU/kg of weight. Or for a 110 lb person to take roughly 100,000,000 IU of Vitamin D.
