An 89-year-old retired businessman died from an “overdose” of Vitamin D supplements that did not warn about the risks of excessive intake.

David Mitchener from Oxted, Surrey, reportedly had fatally high levels of Vitamin D when he was brought to the East Surrey Hospital last year in May and was suffering from hypercalcaemia – a build-up of calcium in the body associated with taking too much vitamin D.

He died ten days later.

    Yeah normaly people can adsorb fairly high levels. The long term high D exasperated other issues and a contibuting factor. Not making the post to poo poo on Vit D. Body needs it. Good for health.
