How bad of an idea would it be to continue taking 50,000 IU of Vit D3/week? (lemmy.world)

Sweden's recommendations are 100 µg/day for adult, which is 4000 IU (IE) per day. Times 7, is 28000 per week. So you're off by a factor of 7.

Some tests have shown even up to 10000 per day is fine. But why risk it? While I'd not take OPs 50000 per week, because it's too much in my eyes, it could still be save, but I'd personally not risk it. There's no point in overdoing it.

I take 5000 UI every other day,, because I barely get any sunlight. Probably a bit too low but I'd rather not risk it.
