Megadosing vitamin D 50K UI daily with cofactors.

Posted by krisa2025 @krisa2025, 3 days ago

Megadosing vitamin D 50K UI daily with cofactors.

Is it safe to megadose vitamin D like 50k UI daily with a serum level of 60 ng/mL? I plan to take cofactors with it 500mcg MK7 K2-vitamin and magnesium citrate + Vitamin A.

I'm trying this in order to fix my acne and digestive issues. I read some stories on Reddit that megadosing vitamin D worked for someone with similar issues.

How likely it is to get vitamin D toxicity? Aka hypercalcemia?

Hi @krisa2025. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

Here's some information you may want to check out from Mayo Clinic on Vitamin D:

Have you had a chance to ask your primary care doctor about their thoughts on megadosing Vitamin D? If so, what did they say?
