Doc pulled vitamin d 25 hydroxy and it is 1.86 ng/dl range .92 - 1.77 ng/dl doc was concerned asked me to drop to only 5000 iu. I estimated I take 50 to 60,000 iu a day. I have been taking more now for about a year. 30,000 was my weekly total and my numbers were 40ng/dl.
I get repulled in 3 months.

Do you happen to know your calcium level? A concern of too high a D result can be calcium buildup, leading to kidney issues / stones, and excess calcium is bad for arterial and heart health — via potential plaque buildup.

Yes it was 9.8. I do take K2 with it as it's supposed to lay down the ca in the bones. I am going down to 5000 iu a day and get retested in 3 months.

Even 5000 iu is going to be a lot, you can get away with 10,000 a week and be in the high normal range
