A member asked:
I've been taking vitamin d3 (dry form, daily dosage 2000 iu) for a week. im experiencing new breakouts on chin and lower cheeks, should i stop the use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would: While not super high, 2000 IU of vitamin D3 does exceed the recommended dietary allowance of 600 to 800 IU for adults. In addition, any time you get a reaction after you begin a new medication or supplement, you should stop, if safe, to see what effect that has. I can't explain why you may have the breakout, but no harm in stopping to see what happens. Good luck!
