how you feel—adjust only under guidance to prevent the frustration of trial and error with vitamin D. Here’s a helpful table comparing dosages:
AGE GROUP RECOMMENDED DAILY VITAMIN D (IU) POTENTIAL RISKS IF EXCEEDED
50-70 600 Nausea, kidney strain
Over 70 800 High calcium levels
This approach keeps vitamin D working for you, not against.
Mistake 4: Ignoring Drug Interactions with Vitamin D
Seniors on medications like blood pressure pills or diuretics might not realize vitamin D can interact, potentially raising calcium levels and causing heart rhythm concerns
