In response to wanting update on Vitamin D, LDN posted by aviano:

Hi Avi,
You probably don't need a dose of vitamin D that high. Both parathyroid hormone and vitamin D work to regulate calcium levels. If calcium rises too high it can cause your parathyroid hormone to fall. There's always a risk of causing imbalances when using high doses of supplements.

I think the researchers in the study make a good point here. And even when you go to extremes with sunlight absorption (which I'm not recommending although I love being out in the sun) you don't absorb excess vitamin D. Whereas with supplements, you can ingest too much. Best, Elaine
