> 5000 international units (IUs) daily. Five years later

Five years. Of 5000 IUs per day

Five years. Of more than 10x the EU RDA (and maybe 5x more than the US RDA, still)

But please tell me again how easy it is to overdose

I admit I didn't make that clear, the point was 5k UI is not healthy to take long term. But you build a supplement regime around it, and then just keep taking it for years. That's how easy it is.

And in another thread a guy was saying his daily D3 was 20,000 IU a day as if it was perfectly normal.

I was found to be extremely deficient in a blood test and personally been prescribed 10k UI, or maybe even 50k I can't remember, but it was a weekly tablet for only 6 weeks.
