> Thanks, Ray. Someone recently posted an article about how deficient most of us are in Vitamin D and how closely related that is to depression. The article said that you could take huge doses of Vit. D without any adverse effects. Then I read another article that said you can overdose on D and it doesn't take much. What do you think should be an optimal dosage?
Expect that the RDA for vitamin D will be substantially increased. It is very difficult to overdose on vitamin D, and many reports of vitamin toxicity have a political base, rather than a scientific one. The idea that you can obtain an optimal vitamin or mineral intake from food alone is specious.
The optimal intake of vitamin D is about 4000 IU/day.
