What is the recommended dosage for Vitamin D?

General: 600-800 IU/day; Immune Support: 1,000-2,000 IU/day; Deficiency Correction: 4,000-5,000 IU/day (under medical supervision)

What are the side effects of Vitamin D?

Potential side effects include: Hypercalcemia at very high doses (nausea, vomiting, weakness), Kidney stones with excessive long-term use, Constipation, Metallic taste.

What is vitamin D and how does it support immune function?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in both innate and adaptive immunity. Immune cells express vitamin D receptors, and vitamin D influences antimicrobial peptide production (cathelicidin), T-cell differentiation, and inflammatory cytokine regulation.

What dosage of vitamin D has been studied for immune health?

Clinical trials have used vitamin D3 at doses of 400–4,000 IU per day. Meta-analyses suggest that daily or weekly supplementation (not bolus dosing) is more effective for reducing respiratory infection risk, particularly in individuals with baseline deficiency.

What are the potential side effects of vitamin D supplementation?

Vitamin D is generally safe at doses up to 4,000 IU per day for adults. Excessive intake can cause hypercalcemia, leading to nausea, weakness, and kidney problems. Blood levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D) should be monitored when taking doses above 2,000 IU per day.

About

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroid hormone that modulates both innate and adaptive immune responses. It maintains epithelial barrier integrity, boosts production of antimicrobial peptides (cathelicidin LL-37 and defensins), and regulates T-cell and macrophage function. The VITAL trial demonstrated a 22% reduction in autoimmune disease risk with supplementation.

How It Works

Modulates both innate and adaptive immune responses by maintaining epithelial barrier integrity and boosting production of antimicrobial peptides (cathelicidin LL-37 and defensins); regulates T-cell and macrophage function.
