Not bad if this is true and I see no reason why D couldn't help insulin.

An IRANIAN study? Really Raph? This is undoubtedly a jihadist trick by the Iranians to poison the infidel American public.

But in all seriousness ...... "An excessive ingestion of vitamin D which usually occurs as a result of supplement overdose. Vitamin D is essential for healthy teeth and bones. Our bodies can make vitamin D from exposure to the sun but this process turns off once our bodies have enough of the vitamin. However, when vitamin D is consumed as a supplement, there is no shut-off mechanism and an overdose can lead to abnormal calcium metabolism with symptoms such as nausea, constipation, weakness and bone pain." www.wrongdiagnosis.com/v/vitamin_d_overdose/intro.htm

Can you cite the study and who paid for it? and what is an "overdose" and the study on who overdosed, how many were studied on overdoses etc etc etc.

Google is your friend! " What Is the Recommended Dosage? The U.S. Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has established the recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D. No matter what your age, the daily dosage is 5 micrograms (200 IU) per day. However, when using supplements it is possible to double or triple this amount quickly. Therefore, it is advised not to take vitamin D supplements without the specific guidance of your doctor. How Much Is Too Much? Vitamin D overdose typically happens over a period of time rather than from a single large dose. This is because, unlike most other essential nutrients we consume, the body does not excrete excess vitamin D. Instead, it is stored in the body's fat cells where it can accumulate to toxic levels over time. Due to this, there is a daily maximum any person can take on a regular, daily basis known as the Upper Intake Level. According to the National Institutes of Health, the Upper Intake Levels (ULs) for vitamin D are as follows: •Birth to 12 months of age: 25 micrograms (1,000 IU) a day •One year of age or older: 50 micrograms (2,000 IU) a day Studies have also shown that, taken over long periods of time, consumption of vitamin D in amounts above these amounts above (the ULs) will result in toxicity. The amount of time it takes for this toxicity to develop will vary depending on the amount taken daily and the age of the patient. For example, children under the age of 12 months with a sustained intake of 1,000 micrograms (40,000 IU) a day will produce toxicity in just one to four months. For adults, 2,500 micrograms (100,000 IU) a day may result in toxicity in a few months." vitamins.lovetoknow.com/Vitamin_D_Overdose

Hell you didn't even read what I posted and the study! One of the studies conducted was 500 IUs a day which is under the guidelines you posted. Now as for the other study for the 4000 IUs a day here it is............... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19781131

I never tend to believe these types of "studies" on supplemental vitamins or herbal concoctions. Mainly because they are self serving, Even when conducted by a "reputable" university or lab, they are usually underwritten by the pharm company or herbal manufacturer. I don't take supplements, myself. There is little if any quality control and if you have a good healthy diet and exercise regularly there is no need for supplements.

Then how do you know what you posted is true? I'll let you know down the road if your or I are still on here. I take 5000 D3 plus whatever I else I get so if I get constipated you'll be the first to know. Lol! BTW though you made a great point. However I'm more inclined to believe that many studies are bought and paid for by big pharma money so therefore I'm less inclined to believe anything they offer. More profits to be had there!
