Does vitamin d thin the blood and is it dangerous to take after a severe bleeding ulcer.

No it does: not do that. If you have a severe bleeding ulcer, it needs immediate attention.

Vitamin D3 is a fat: soluble vitamin and is best absorbed when eating fats & if you are not fat/obese. If you have a bleeding ulcer it does not thin the blood further, and possibly isn't even being absorbed if you are not eating, because of a bleeding ulcer.If a person is obese/fat, it gets sequestered or stored in the fat, and not absorbed either.It is not known to have that type of relationship to bleeding ulcers.

No and no: Hi. No, vitamin D doesn't thin the blood, and no, it's not dangerous to take after a severe bleeding ulcer.

Vit D side effects: In recommended doses, experiencing side effects (nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, allergic reaction, etc.) from Vitamin D would be very uncommon. Vitamin D has no blood thinning effects.
