Vitamin D Toxicity

My husband just got his lab work back and his vitamin d levels are over 240 as of February 2024! (We had him tested twice at 2 different labs to make sure) His d levels were low (24) in April of 2023, so he took vitamin d for about 3 months at 2000 iu daily. He has not taken any since and all other supplements he takes do not contain any vitamin d either. How is it possible that he is now at toxic levels? No one has any answers. Someone who works for alive4health said that they are starting to see this in people more frequently and it could be from one of the covid strains. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone knows how to get these toxic levels down ASAP!

Hi Dany,

You didn't say if this is a 25 OH d test or not. This is the standard test for vitamin d level. There are other forms of vitamin d that you can test for. The 25 OH d test has a reference range of 30 - 100 ng/ml.

You didn't say if the 240 number is ng/ml or nmol/l. If it is ng/ml that is really high. If it is nmol/l that is in range, albeit near the top of the range.

You also didn't mention any medications your husband is taking.

Some prescription medication that are not vitamin D based, can cause vitamin d levels to increase. One such type of medication, is a heart medication, digoxin and another is thiazide diuretics with both generally used for heart issues.

Until they are able to resolve the high vitamin D level he should drastically reduce calcium intake from supplements and food.

I have heard that vit d3 contains

cholecalciferol

and that this is rat poison. Does anyone know what the truth is? I have stopped taking Vit D3 after this news.

Hi Art thanks for your response. My husband is not on any prescription medications and also does not take any Calcium supplements. It was a 25OH test and it was ng/ml.

The doctors at Alive4health have been noticing this trend and feel it might be a certain strain of covid that has caused this to happen in certain people.
