[gotcha] Higher vitamin D doses are always better

Do not exceed 4000 IU/day \(100 µg\) for adults, 2000 IU/day for children aged 1-10, or 1000 IU/day for infants without medical supervision. Stack supplements carefully to avoid inadvertent overdose and monitor for hypercalcemia symptoms.

Journey Context:
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and accumulates. Excess raises intestinal calcium absorption, causing hypercalcemia that can damage kidneys, trigger arrhythmias, and cause confusion. The NHS and EFSA set clear upper limits, yet many high-dose supplements exceed them and users assume 'more is better' because vitamin D is essential.
