How Much Vitamin D3 Is Too Much? Your Vitamin D3 Daily Intake Based On The Research

Our free resources:

Inside our men's weight loss program, FF30X, one of our biggest focuses is on hands-on personal training. So we invite our guys to email us with any questions regarding their diet, exercise, and any other supplementary topics that they need clarification on.

And in this video, I'm going to address one in particular: How much Vitamin D3 is too much? I'm familiar with the benefits, but how do I know if I'm taking too much to cause toxicity?

Hope this helps!

Great information! Really helpful and thanks for the awesome video.

Thanks for this great explanation! I take 1000 IU of vitamin D3 every day and I've always worried it was too much. It's good to know it's in the safe dosage range. I can't imagine people taking 40, 000-60000 IU a day, that's pretty crazy!

another insightful one! I love knowing the specifics like this.

I always had taken 1000IU chewable vitamin D every day and surprisingly still had a vitamin d deficiency! I always wonder how much of vitamin d is toxic, finally got the answer today. thank you doctor!

Thank you for this information. You were clear about safe amounts to supplement and clear about the level to reach toxicity. Please provide similar information for vitamins A, C, E and K, along with addressing the B complex issue. Most doctors seem to fear vitamin overdoses more than obesity, yet every elderly person who enters the hospital seems to be diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency of some sort.

You will reach toxicity range if you take high d3 in liquid form combined with high calcium intake. Other than that, if you do not have serious stomach issues, you should be fine with 5000-10000IU (pill) per day.

A very good video...As an older guy, I take 10, 000 iu per day, but also take D3 with K2 to divert the D from soft tissues. Add some Zinc and Magnesium as well. When you get older, you need to add more, as you don't metabolize it as much. Also, if you have no gallbladder there is not as much bile to process the fat element.
It all depends on age, condition, etc. Get your blood levels checked first.

Thanks! I was doing research on this a couple months ago and found only conflicting information about recommended D3 intake

[joachimortenburger]

I am 73 years old, supplementing since about 4 years daily 14.000 iU of Vitamin D3 + K2 + Magnesium - and my tested D3-level is 83, 5 ng/ml. No problems at all and I am in best shape without any flu or cold since about 4 years. In my opinion the recommended daily intake of only some thousand iU is too less to gain remarcable effects - esp. in regard to cancer, breast-cancer and prostate prevention.

Thank you for this education Dr Balduzzi.

[merakicata]

This was so helpful. You should do a video with your a few vitamin d supplements you recommend..

[mdmonowar]

Very informative content from beginning to end. I have learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[sarefin]

Great video and very thoughtful.. Thank you for sharing with great explanation, I am going to share this tips with my friends.

[abassplayerlife]

Great info. I take 10, 000 IU daily. My value is 50.0 ng/mL. I have my blood work done every year with a physical. Before I started taking the 10, 000 IU, my levels were 17 ng/mL. Solgar has a 10, 000 IU in a single softgel.

[adamsco.]

So, then 5000 IU's a day of vitamin D3 as (cholecalciferol) is safe ?

[rajakrishnan]

I wasn't aware that anything like Vitamin D3 can be too much but after watching this video I have got sufficient information on how much should be my daily intake. Thanks a lot for the video.

[SomeGuy]

Possibly adding in here when would be the best time to take it .. with food, without food, morning, evening, etc

[willsmiff]
