Please tell me that is IU's not mg's as that would be 50 g which is really huge dose!
I have never heard of anyone with your side effects taking vit D. even at that dose. 20,000 IU is still a tiny physical amount of tablet, so the gut should not have any issues with the excess, which makes the DandV side effects quite rare as well. |
