It’s worth saying that while vitamin D is an essential part of our wellbeing, excessive intake can lead to toxicity, which can have adverse effects on health.
Therefore, it’s important to maintain a balance and get your vitamin D from combination of sunlight, dietary sources, and if necessary, supplements, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D can vary by individual health needs. As a reference, both Canada and the US have the daily value for vitamin D set at 20 micrograms (800 IU) and they consider the daily value to be the recommended amount of a nutrient to consumer per day.
