Can too much vitamin D be harmful?
Yes, excess vitamin D in the blood (known as vitamin D toxicity) can be harmful. Signs of toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss. Excess vitamin D can also damage the kidneys. Too much vitamin D also raises the level of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia) which can cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm.
Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency?
Some people who are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency are breastfed infants because human milk is a poor source of vitamin D; older adults, because their skin does not make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as efficiently as when they were young; and if you have hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney or liver disease.
What foods are rich in vitamin D?
Some of the foods rich in vitamin D are orange juice, fortified breakfast cereals, milk, other dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, and egg yolk.
