10 Symptoms of Too Much Vitamin D
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Hypercalcemia
One of vitamin D’s most important roles is that it helps the body to absorb calcium from the food that we eat. This is very important because we need calcium for healthy bones, along with some other functions. It follows that if there is too much vitamin D in the blood, we will end up absorbing too much calcium.
The medical term for having too much calcium in the blood is hypercalcemia. It is a potentially dangerous condition that also comes with some very unwelcome side effects. The side effects of hypercalcemia are also often side effects of having too much vitamin D.
