[QUOTE="JenniferM55, post: 2307254, member: 527474"] My GP requested my serum Vit D be checked as a matter of routine during a blood test. The result showed I was at the high range of 'norm' and was asked to cut back on what I was taking which was 5000 iu of Vit D3 a day. I now have one 3000 iu a day. Vit D3 is pretty low cost to buy and overdosing is rare according to a google search. In Nordic countries I believe Vit D is supplemented in foods. Funnily enough when I lived in sunny Spain I used to buy milk fortified with Vit D, I could even buy eggs high in Vit D (presumably the hens were fed a higher amount of Vit D in their feed?). There has been calls after research at Birmingham University for foods in the UK to be fortified with Vit D [URL]https://www.healtheuropa.eu/vitamin-d-nhs/92961/[/URL] - the article was written Aug 2019 pre Covid. [INDENT][I]The researchers put forward a new strategy for implementation in the UK. This consists of adding 400IU of vitamin D per 100g of flour, whilst at the same time, offering free supplements at the same dose for children up to 18 years of age and to those over 65.[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
