A member asked:
Would taking a vitamin d supplement - 4, 000 iu cause me to have to much calcium in my blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If too high: You can get high calcium if your vitamin d level is too high. 4000 iu is an acceptable dose if your level is current very low and need to be raised up. The only way you will know for sure if you are getting too much is to get retested after being on the replacement dose for a short time. The main thing is to follow up with the doc that started the replacement to remeasure levels.
