Just need to take vitamin D bruh, I was taking 10,000 iu a day for a few weeks.

Surely you can't ingest 10,000 in a single day? Yea right?
But surely that would kill you?

Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity. This level is many times higher than the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day.

I thought the RDA was 400iu. Anyway, the RDA for vitamin D is almost certainly wrong. It's interesting looking into how these numbers are determined.

If you are sensible then you want to get a blood test from your doctor and not just take the pills, but I'm more than happy to experiment on myself.

When I embarked on the experiments I was leading a lifestyle in a latitude that made vitamin D sufficiency an impossibility (same for many people). So it didn't feel like a huge risk.

Steve Gibson is not a doctor but a computer scientist but he can explain things such as Vitamin D:

Yeah, what do doctors know? Better to listen to some random computer guy.

Oh yh, never read the iu part.  this invalidates my quote.

Everything appears random, if you never bother to investigate anything.

Plus I didn't tell you not to listen to your doctor, that's sort of the opposite of what I said, really.

I hate to make an observation in support of Reggie, buuut....
that just goes to show how insanely hard you have to try to poison yourself yourself with Vitamin D, as compared wih most other substances.

Can't recall all the figures, now, but looked into this pretty thouroughly awhile back, after being found deficient in vit D, and put onto a stupendous amount (by injection) to make good the deficiency.  Now that I've ben thrown back on own resources , and it next-to-impssble to find suitble formulations, the question of suitable dosage arose.  There's a ridicousdly wide margin of error with this one, so you might as well err towards excess, as most of the available supplements  actually do. This helps make up for any absorprtion issues.

I've found the Mayo clinic's website to be an invaluable resource  for questions like this. Authoritatative and comprehensive. Gotta plus you for quoting em. (as opposed to "random computer guy "  )

Currently on a prescription dose for vitamin D with bloodwork to see if it's working scheduled late next month. Doctor will decide at that time what dosage to use going forward. Hoping the advice is not to return to an over the counter option, since they seem to have no effect before. Supplements aren't regulated by the FDA, so there's no way to feel confident if what's purchased is even what's being sold.

Steve Gibson is an academic he doesn't go on holidays he spends decades at his home researching computer security and also health. He's an educator with an unsurpassed level of verbal acuity and is very much interested in a long health span as opposed to a long lifespan.

Everything he says about vitamin D is correct because the video is academic.

Isn't Bill Gates a random computer guy? Why the fudgecone do you listen to him then eh? Double standards.

I know you didn't. I used "doctors" in general, as opposed to the computer guy whose video you posted.

[odeon]

Isn't Bill Gates a random computer guy? Why the fudgecone do you listen to him then eh? Double standards.

Because he says "listen to the experts" and donates a lot of money to speed up their research. He's been doing it for years and he does leave the work to the experts.

And you think Steve Gibson, by contrast,  must be cooking up his own dodgy batches of homemade vitamin D and not consulting doctors?
