We had a patient's labs come in with a Vit D level of 175. Although unusual, Vit D toxicity is happening more. It's been making the news a lot that Vit D helps in a lot of areas, ranging from mental health to energy level to bone health, arterial health, & even prevention of diabetes.

This level was due to repeated Vit D injections by a healthcare provider. Unfortunately, many care providers see this as an opportunity to diagnose a problem & give an injection, thereby underlining their value to the patient. In fact, I haven't seen any Vit D toxicity reports or examples outside of those created by provider or patient supplementation. Please be careful 5,000 and even 10,000 IU per day have been shown to be safe in multiple studies. But injections of 25,000 & even 50.000 can create risk, especially when given multiple times. Unless targeted using blood levels, I do not recommend taking over 5,000 on a regular basis.

We can debate whether safe levels are under 150, 125, or 100. A viewer on this channel commented recently that 125 is a safe target level. I don't agree. To get so close to 150 without a clear and proven advantage is taking risks without benefit.
