A member asked:
Calcium level- 9.5 and with vitamin d3 toxicity level 160 what should be take or avoid to control level of vit d3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop taking Vit. D!: Levels this high do not occur unless one is taking very high doses of vit. D. Of interest, while levels above 100 are considered toxic, there are generally no symptoms of toxicity unless 200 or higher. Your normal calcium suggests this is not a big problem. All you need to do to bring it down is stop taking vit. D. See www.Vitamindcouncil.Org/about-vitamin-d/what-is-vitamin-d/vitamin-d-toxicity/.
