"I began taking this supplement 4 years ago when I was told my levels were too low. I began having hypothyroid symptoms within months. Hair loss, dry hair and skin, achy joints, migraines. But my levels were all normal. On a whim, I recently stopped taking the vitamin d and my symptoms have all disappeared! Every doctor I saw kept saying it wasn't the supplement. I am so frustrated that there is relatively no information about it causing more issues in some people such as myself."

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) "I was prescribed 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily to treat my insufficiency. After a 6 month treatment, my blood test showed normal levels. I took D3 with calcium, magnesium and zinc together. My Dr. reduced D3 to 5000 iu a day and after 2 years my levels are still normal"

"Starting taking Vitamin d at 50,000 weekly. My levels were 20 ng/ml. Felt extremely unwell, and feeling of sickness right away. Dry mouth. It was time for my second dose a week later, loss of appetite, severe GERD, extreme upper left abdomen pain, end up in the ER. But I didn’t put the two and two together until now, this all came all of sudden when I started taking this prescribe vitamin d. I’m going to stop taking it and hope this feeling all goes away soon. I want to stop feeling like I’m going to die."
