I am waiting for some study to come out that will note some serious long term side effects of Vitamin D consumption, just like they've done for Vitamin C, Calcium, and a bunch of other supplements. It's just a matter of time, I tell ya...
For both of you guys above....GOOD GENES.....some have better genes than others.
what heals you may kill me... everyone is different.
Simple blood testing can quickly tell you your Vitamin D levels

If vitamins were truly 'snake oil', then plants would not be needed, either.
A multi mineral pill is VERY beneficial, as well.
Vitamin C over rated? Why do most animals [not humans] make this in their own bodies?
Rickets and scurvy were once rather common. How did they get addressed and cured? And why is iodine added to table salt?
Of course a good diet is great, but at minimum, extra vitamins/minerals are great insurance. It is TOUGH to eat right - we don't know what is in the food products anymore. and that includes vegetables.

Zinc gluconate. 50 mg every am. More is not better! Thank me later.
My Dr put me on 5000 iu of Vitamin D based on my blood work.
Oct 2011: Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy 23.1 (32.0-100.0) **LOW**
After 6 months on this supplement.
Mar 2012: Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy 46.9 (32.0-100.0) Improved to normal range
The test I had indicates the 32.0-100.0 (I don't know the range) is considered normal.
FWIW.

Sure, zink toxicity leads to copper deficiency, they compete for absorption.

Vit D toxicity issue is known:
Quote:
Published cases of toxicity, for which serum levels and dose are known, all involve intake of > 40000 IU (1000 mcg) per day. 1 Two different cases involved intake of over 2,000,000 IU per day - both men survived. 2 3
http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/about-vitamin-d/what-is-vitamin-d/vitamin-d-toxicity/
One word: moderation. 5,000 IU a day is harmless and at least 1,000 a day is needed to maintain good blood levels.
Physicians prescribe 50,000 a pill (once per week) or even 200,000 injections (once every several months).
