Taking too much Vitamin D can also be dangerous
Excessive intake of Vitamin D can cause hypervitaminosis D or Vitamin D toxicity. This causes hypercalcemia in which the amount of calcium in the blood increases. This increases pain in the bones. Hypercalcemia makes the bones weak. Due to this fatigue and weakness also occur.
