💊OPPOSITE EFFECTS FROM VITAMIN D?
In one study, they gave elite athletes either 30,000 or 70,000 IU vitamin D3. Taking the 70,000 IU dose raised a metabolite of vitamin D breakdown in the body. In fact, this metabolite remained high for weeks after the athletes stopped taking both prescription doses of vitamin D. This metabolite may INHIBIT the conversation of the inactive form of vitamin D to its active form.
In other words, taking super high dose Vitamin D leads to a negative feedback loop reducing the active form of vitamin D in the body (Owens et al., 2017). Not good!
