Al-Marsad newspaper: The magazine “BMJ Case Reports” revealed that a British man was taken to hospital following taking 150,000 international units of vitamin D every day, pointing out that this is hundreds of times higher than the recommended amount in Britain, which is 400 international units.
She said the man suffered from nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, leg cramps and ringing in the ears. The man was diagnosed with a vitamin D overdose and was hospitalized for 8 days.
By the time he was taken to the hospital two months later, he had lost 28 pounds and had kidney problems.
Medical experts say this is a cautionary tale regarding taking too many supplements.
