You're welcome. I thought it was an important extra piece of information. We're constantly being warned about getting too much vitamin A or D, because they're fat soluble, yet overdose is so strikingly rare, it often makes the literature. In contrast, deficiency is really quite common. Despite supplementation of milk with vitamin D, rickets is actually rising in prevalence in the U.S.
Because calcium regulation in the body is complex, I'd still recommend some medical supervision.
