Re: Systolic BP and Vitamin D - What about this info??

[Guest guest]

Rodney - I did see at the end of your long post that it is Webber Vit.

D. Forgive me for implying it may have been a brand of lesser value!

It appears to have ONLY the D3. I don't think the below has been posted:

" If You Get Too Much

Doses greater than 1,000 IU a day are not recommended; signs and

symptoms of a toxic reaction include loss of appetite, headache,

nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and excessive thirst and urination. Taking

10,000 to 15,000 IU a day regularly can cause weight loss, paleness,

constipation, fever, and a number of serious complications. Long-term

overconsumption of vitamin D at any dose greater than 1,000 IU day may

cause high blood pressure and premature hardening of the arteries.

Bones may weaken and a calcium buildup in muscles and other soft

tissues may occur. Kidney damage may also develop. "

Also lists high blood pressure as side effect:

Hi Genesa:

Thank you, particularly for the Medline link for vitamin D.

The following items contained in that link are interesting:

" Normal daily recommended intakes for adults in IU: 200-400. "

" ...... fat is needed so that vitamin D can be absorbed into the

body. "

" Problems are more likely to occur in: Adults taking 20,000 to

80,000 Units a day and more for several weeks or months. "

" Early symptoms of overdose: Bone pain; constipation (especially in

children or adolescents); diarrhea; drowsiness; dryness of mouth;

headache (continuing); increased thirst ; increase in frequency of

urination, especially at night, or in amount of urine; irregular

heartbeat ; itching skin; loss of appetite; metallic taste;

muscle pain; nausea or vomiting (especially in children or

adolescents); unusual tiredness or weakness "

" Late symptoms of overdose: Bone pain; calcium deposits (hard

lumps) in tissues outside of the bone; cloudy urine; drowsiness;

increased sensitivity of eyes to light or irritation of eyes;

itching of skin ; loss of appetite; loss of sex drive; mood or

mental changes; muscle pain; nausea or vomiting; protein in the

urine; redness or discharge of the eye, eyelid, or lining of the

eyelid; runny nose; weight loss. "

" Late symptoms of severe overdose: High blood pressure; high

fever; irregular heartbeat; stomach pain (severe). "

---------------

The only symptom I have from my intake is the elevated BP. I have

never had any of of the symptoms they list under " early symptoms of

overdose " . So my experience seems to be qualitatively different from

what they are describing.

Is it your impression there is something wrong with the D3 version of

vitamin D?

Rodney.

Hi Rodney,

Yes, it sounds as though your experience is different also, however

thought it worth mentioning that HBP is indicated in these bits of info.

As to the D3 - no.
