Doctors from Great Britain brought to attention the symptoms associated with a possible overdose of vitamin D. Among the signs are the appearance of nausea and frequent urination.
Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, providing a number of health benefits, such as maintaining healthy bones, teeth and muscles.
Most people get enough of this important substance from exposure to direct sunlight, but some people take it in the form of supplements, which can pose potentially serious health risks.
The main consequence of an overdose is the accumulation of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), which causes nausea and vomiting, weakness and frequent urination. Symptoms can progress to bone pain and kidney problems such as kidney stones.
