Are there any side effects to taking vitamin D with calcium to prevent cancer?
I’ve heard vitamin D can be toxic. A. There are both good and bad side effects. Vitamin D is essential for the assimilation of calcium into your bones. You’ve got to have it to prevent osteoporosis. Another positive side effect is its good for the immune system. Vitamin D in very large doses can become toxic. One study I read mentioned 30,000 IU’s daily for months before toxic levels were reached. I recommend supplementing with 5,000 IU’s a day and get your blood levels of vitamin D checked. Ask your doctor for the results. The normal range has recently been changed to 32-100 ng. Not all of us absorb vitamin D efficently and like me you may need a special form of vitamin D to increase your levels to an optimal range.
