Caution |
| Large doses of vitamin D3 (over 1900 IU/day)
may cause hypercalcemia, a decrease in renal function, and
nephrocalcinosis. Monthly blood tests to monitor serum
calcium and parathyroid hormone levels should be done to
protect against vitamin D3 toxicity when high doses are
consumed on a regular basis. Underlying kidney disease may
preclude high dose vitamin D3 supplementation.* |
