A member asked:
Can you tell me the basics about taking extra vitamin d's and how it helps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is important: to have adequate and normal levels of vitamin D, but there is no known benefit to excessive ingestion, and some possible hazardous side effects. In general, a daily dose of 2000 units of vitamin D3 is adequate for most people, but ask your doctor for your specific case.
