10 Side Effects of Vitamin D
Vitamin D Side Effect #4: Bone Loss
As mentioned above, calcium is very important for a strong, healthy skeleton. This also means that vitamin D is important because it helps the body take the calcium it needs from food. If there is too much vitamin D in the blood, however, then it can have the opposite effect on the health of the skeleton.
Alongside calcium, vitamin K is also important for a healthy skeleton. Studies have shown that too much vitamin D in the blood can lead to less vitamin K, and this is not good for bones. One potential way to overcome this is to take vitamin K supplements, or at least try to get a lot of them in your diet.
