What Are The Effects Of A Vitamin D Overdose?
Vitamins are good for the human body, but if they are taken in mega doses, they can be hazardous to your health. Most vitamin toxicity can be reversed, but toxicity caused by overdosing vitamin D cannot be reversed. If taken to extremely excessive levels, it can even lead to death. Because vitamin D is fat soluble, the excess vitamin can be deposited within the fatty tissues of the body, including the heart. Because vitamin D is used by calcium and phosphorous to build stronger bones, it can lead to calcium deposits being deposited in the fatty tissues where the vitamin D is stored. If lucky, these deposits can be removed surgically. Sometimes the risk to the patient is too severe and the deposits cannot be removed.
