What is a good and safe amount of vitamin d3 that a healthy 47 year old woman should take daily? are there any possible side effects associated w/ d3?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

D3: Please get your D3 tested by your doctor and then you will know the right amount to take daily. Experts suggest your level be between 50 & 80 for optimal benefit. You can OD on D3 and have some side effects like fatigue & GI symptoms. Peace and good health.
