Doctors warn about unpleasant symptoms of excess vitamin D.
Vitamin D is a key nutrient that helps the body absorb calcium and strengthen bones. An excess of vitamin D can lead to intoxication of the body and a number of other dangerous consequences. Nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg spoke about these symptoms.
Where is it kept?
The daily recommended dosage of vitamin D for adults is 10 micrograms, but this amount may vary depending on age, gender and other factors.
Vitamin D is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight, but in winter or when there is a lack of sunlight, its production may be insufficient. In this case, it is necessary to consume foods rich in this vitamin.
Foods rich in vitamin D include fatty fish, cod liver, red meat, grains, egg yolks and some mushrooms (such as chanterelles).
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to the development of a number of diseases, including osteoporosis, rickets, muscle weakness and an increased risk of infectious diseases.
Excess Vitamin D
However, taking too much vitamin D over a long period of time can lead to a condition called hypervitaminosis D. Hypervitaminosis D is caused by a buildup of excess calcium in the body, which is often accompanied by elevated levels of phosphorus in the bloodstream. This condition can lead to various complications, especially with regard to bone health, heart health, kidney health, and neurological function.
If the first signs of a vitamin D overdose appear, you should immediately stop taking it and immediately seek medical help. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help prevent serious health consequences.
