I should have phrased it as "the body has a mechanism to get rid of excess Vitamin D". That mechanism can be overloaded, though.


What mechanism are you talking about? The main mechanism for Vitamin D that I know of is to limit creation from sunlight. But if one takes supplements without any caution as you seem to suggest then one is bypassing it.

Supplementing vitamin D is a great idea (I do it), but it is dangerous for those that are naive about it and think there is no risk.
