Bought some vitamin D drops (liposomal) that say to take under the tongue. Now it’s surprisingly hard to actually do that. So how much am I missing out if it’s in the general mouth or on top of the tongue?
(I might try doing it in front of the mirror.)
Please keep in mind that according to the Mayo Clinic a normal adult needs no more than 600 UI per day.
It’s not a water-soluble vitamin so you can take too much and cause harm.
Disclosure: I just looked this up yesterday after buying a Buy 1/Get 1 of 220 doses of 2000 UI vitamin D! I thought it was water-soluble, and I could just take it and excrete what my body didn’t need. I bought enough to kill myself, many times over…
There’s no evidence of adverse effects at less than 10,000 IU daily. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916522043763?via%3Dihub
Interesting report. Two concerning bits though:
And that the group sizes (“n” values) top out in just one at 1653. The rest are usually under 20.
Which doesn’t matter in the slightest as my post was to simply make the OP aware that too much can be harmful.
Your post simply raises the bar on how much is too much, but doesn’t change the underlying point I was trying to make.
Thank you for posting that report!
