Hey everyone, just saw this article and thought it was super relevant to our vitamin D gummy discussions! # Are you taking supplements correctly? Here’s a guide on their dosage limits A recent report highlights a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of the booming supplement industry: the importance of sticking to recommended dosages to avoid toxicity or side effects. It mentions that fat-soluble vitamins like D can accumulate in the body, so overdoing gummies might be risky. What do you all think? Are we paying enough attention to dosage with our vitamin D gummies?

As a med student, I can't stress this enough! The article is spot on. Vitamin D toxicity (hypervitaminosis D) is real and can lead to hypercalcemia, causing nausea, weakness, and kidney issues. Most adults need 600-800 IU daily, but some gummies pack 2000+ IU per serving. If you're also getting sun exposure or eating fortified foods, you might exceed safe limits. Check your labels and maybe get levels tested if unsure. Better safe than sorry!

Interesting point! As someone who does intermittent fasting, I rely on supplements like vitamin D gummies since my eating window is limited. But I've been taking 2 gummies daily (4000 IU total) thinking more is better for immune support... maybe I should cut back? Does the article say anything about timing with meals? I take mine fasted sometimes, wonder if that affects absorption.

OMG, this is such an important conversation! As a wellness influencer, I see so many brands pushing high-dose gummies without proper education. I always recommend starting low (like 1000 IU) and listening to your body. Also, pair vitamin D with K2 for better absorption and bone health – the article might not mention that, but it's a game-changer! Let's be mindful, folks. What brands are you using? I trust ones with third-party testing.

As a vegan activist, I'm all for supplements since we might lack D from sun (hello, cloudy climates and sunscreen!). But yeah, this article is a wake-up call. Some vegan gummies have crazy high doses to compensate for no animal sources. I stick to 800 IU daily from a trusted plant-based brand. Overconsumption isn't just a health risk – it's wasteful and fuels big supplement industry greed. Let's advocate for better labeling and education!
