What Happens If You Take Too Much Vitamin D?
Vitamin D toxicity does not occur from sunlight or normal dietary intake. It almost always results from excessive supplementation. When too much Vitamin D is present in the body, it causes a buildup of calcium in the blood, a condition known as hypercalcemia.
Common Symptoms of Too Much Vitamin D
When calcium levels become too high, the body may begin to show several warning signs. Some of the most common symptoms include:
1. Nausea and vomiting
High calcium levels can upset the digestive system, leading to nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
2. Frequent urination and excessive thirst
Too much calcium in the blood can affect the kidneys, causing frequent urination and increased thirst.
3. Fatigue and weakness
People experiencing Vitamin D toxicity may feel unusually tired, weak, or confused.
4. Digestive issues
Constipation, stomach pain, and digestive discomfort are also common signs.
5. Bone pain or kidney problems
In severe cases, excess Vitamin D can lead to bone pain, kidney stones, or kidney damage.
