Why is it not recommended to consume too much vitamin D?

 According to a new study, consuming more than the recommended intake of vitamin D can actually reduce bone density – meaning that consuming more than 600 IU (international units) of vitamin D per day is not recommended.

It is known that vitamin D is essential for building strong healthy bones, but only to a certain amount.

In the new study, 303 people between the ages of 55 and 70 consumed 400, 4000, or 10,000 IU of vitamin D supplementation once daily for 3 years. At 6, 12, 24 and 36 months, the strength and density of bones in their joints were measured, as well as vitamin D and calcium levels.

In order to be “clear” in later ages, experts suggest doing these 14 exercises: 1. Learn a foreign language – it doesn’t have to be professional, it’s important to learn a word or two a day. 2.
