Accidentally took too much Vitamin D spray, will I be alright?

The spray is 25ug per dose (1000iu). It’s one spray.

max dose for an adult in a day is 4000iu so 4x what I have had

I have taken three sprays of it, so possibly close to it. I don’t even know what I was thinking, I also take rescue remedy so guess I was just on autopilot not paying any attention

Obviously this is just one day so I am guessing and hoping very much it will be fine!! Don’t want to waste 111 time but can’t really see much online about it - does anyone know?

No you will melt like a vampire in sunlight.

(You are stressing over something ridiculous)

Don’t think it matters. You’ll throw up, or start showing weird symptoms if somethings up.

You'll be fine!

It's completely fine. You're worrying about nothing. And then some.

TeaKitten · 08/12/2023 21:27

So it’s 1000 below the max for the day? Not seeing the issue here OP.

You will be absolutely fine. 4000iu is nowhere near the safe maximum dose.

When I had a vitamin D deficiency, I was taking 20,000iu once a week. Most of us are deficient, so if anything, it’s probably a good thing to have taken extra this time of year.

Ratfinkstinkypink · 08/12/2023 21:28

I take 4000iu daily, I think you'll be fine. You need to take over the recommended amount for a prolonged period to do harm.

Thanks everyone! Silly health anxiety, must do something about that - thats more likely to be bad for me than this

I take 20,000iu twice a week in 7 week intervals with a vitamin D3 5000iu & K2 spray inbetween each capsule.

You'll be fine.

When I take too much vit d I get a really nasty headache about 10-12 hours later and have to sleep it off.

ArsenicInTheAppleTart · 08/12/2023 21:44

Obviously it will be fine.

Definitely address your health anxiety though as getting stressed over minor things like this must be so debilitating.

Dunmuin · 08/12/2023 22:04

I take 4000iu every day with no ill effects.

Nitesaredrawinin · 08/12/2023 22:07

You’ll be fine I did the 20,000 2x a week back in the summer, no problem.

booksandbrooks · 08/12/2023 22:09

It's not recommended to take that much daily consistently but whilst loading up if deficient or now and then it's fine
