Can D3K2 Be Toxic?
If you've heard that too much vitamin D3 or vitamin K2 can be toxic, here is our view on D3K2 ReSet:
D3K2 ReSet's intended use is as a natural, dietary supplement and should be used according to label instructions. When used properly, it is a wholesome and wonderful supplement.
D3K2 ReSet, like any supplement, can potentially be toxic if taken in excessively high doses over time, but when used properly and within recommended guidelines, it is generally safe.
Vitamin D3 Toxicity:
- Vitamin D toxicity (hypervitaminosis D) occurs when very high levels of Vitamin D3 are taken consistently, leading to elevated blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, and serious complications like kidney damage.
- The tolerable upper intake level (UL) for Vitamin D3 is 4,000 IU (100 mcg) per day for most adults and children over 9. Toxicity usually occurs with prolonged intake of 10,000 IU or more per day, far above the dosage provided in D3K2 ReSet when taken as directed.
Vitamin K2 Toxicity:
- Vitamin K2 toxicity is extremely rare. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins like A and D, Vitamin K2 has a low toxicity risk because the body does not store it in large amounts, and any excess is typically excreted.
D3K2 ReSet Safety:
- D3K2 ReSet is designed to provide a balanced dose of both Vitamin D3 and K2, ensuring that calcium is directed to bones and not deposited in soft tissues like arteries. This combination makes Vitamin D3 supplementation safer because Vitamin K2 helps mitigate the risks of excess calcium buildup.
How to Avoid Toxicity:
- Stick to the recommended dosage as indicated on the product label or as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- Have your blood levels of Vitamin D checked periodically, especially if taking higher doses or if you have underlying health conditions.
- Monitor for any symptoms of toxicity, such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, weakness, or confusion, and consult a healthcare provider if they occur.
In summary, D3K2 ReSet is safe and non-toxic when taken within the recommended limits, but like any supplement, overuse can lead to adverse effects, particularly with Vitamin D3. Dr. Carolyn Dean emphasizes moderation and balance in supplementation to avoid such risks.
