How Much Vitamin D Supplement Can Be Taken In A Day?

lately I have heard you can take to much vitamin D what is the correct dosage for a 65 year old. I was taking a 1000 IU pill and also the Centrum silver multivitamin which contains 1000 IU. I have stopped taking both for now until I find out more information regarding this concern, also I do get a fair amount of daily sunshine.

Hi,

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which is absolutely essential for good health. It is particularly important for bone health and immune system function. A daily vitamin D intake of 1000 - 4000 IU or 25 - 100 micrograms, should be sufficient to ensure optimal blood levels in most people.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
