Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for our health. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, which is essential for healthy bones.
In addition to calcium, vitamin D prevents osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more susceptible to fractures.
In addition to bone health, vitamin D helps your body fight infection by supporting muscles, nerve impulses, and the immune system. But . . . . .
Taking vitamin D the wrong way can lead to serious health risks, such as vitamin D toxicity.
Vitamin D toxicity, although rare, can cause high calcium levels (hypercalcemia), but it can also cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, increased urination, and even fatal kidney or heart complications in severe cases.
Vitamin D should always be taken in moderation and excessive amounts should be avoided. Vitamin D should be taken in the levels recommended by doctors.
According to Dr. Rohit Jain from Lucknow, high levels of vitamin D in the blood can cause nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, loss of appetite and kidney stones.
In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure, abnormal heart rhythms or death.
