      Please don’t.

      Vitamin D — unlike vitamin C — is not water-soluble and you can take too much.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_toxicity

      The Finnish authorities often changed their suggested daily amounts, but 10 and 20ug are more common and 50 is already on the higher side.

      I tried taking 100ug a few years ago but I then got joint pain and think it was actually too much with my diet.

      So I’ve found 50 to be good for me. I don’t get sun. Like it’s genuinely been weeks or months when I was in direct sunlight. I can’t even recall.

      You’re probably thinking of IUs rather than ug but even then 50k is way too much:

      “Doses below 10,000 IU/day are not usually associated with toxicity, whereas doses equal to or above 50,000 IU/day for several weeks or months are frequently associated with toxic side effects including documented hyperglycemia.”

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D

      50,000ug is 2,000,000 IUs, in other words way too much!
