Accepted Answer

Not overdose: It is safe to take 1000-2000 IU of vitamin D3 every day so what you took was not an overdose. Vitamin D can cause loose stools in some people. Try taking the 500 IU daily with your largest meal of the day. If that does not work then see your doctor for a vitamin D level to make sure that you really need to take it.

If someone takes in too much vitamin d, they could have too much calcium in their urine, raising the risk for kidney stones, or too much calcium in the blood, causing nausea, constipation, excessive thirst and urination, muscle weakness, depression, or confusion.
