Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. While sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, many individuals may require additional supplementation to meet their daily requirements. However, it is important to ensure that taking extra vitamin D does not disrupt the balance of other nutrients in the body. The video below explores methods and strategies to ensure the proper intake of vitamin D while maintaining the balance of other essential nutrients.

While vitamin D is an essential nutrient, excessive intake can have adverse effects on the body. It is important to ensure the body has adequate amount of minerals in the body to avoid excessive amounts of vitamin D levels. Overdose can lead to toxicity and cause harm to the liver, kidneys and arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Abstract
In clinical medicine, increasing attention is being directed towards the important areas of nutritional biochemistry and toxicant bioaccumulation as they relate to human health and chronic disease. Optimal nutritional status, including healthy levels of vitamin D and essential minerals, is requisite for proper physiological function; conversely, accrual of toxic elements has the potential to impair normal physiology. It is evident that vitamin D intake can facilitate the absorption and assimilation of essential inorganic elements (such as calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron, and selenium) but also the uptake of toxic elements (such as lead, arsenic, aluminum, cobalt, and strontium). Furthermore, sufficiency of essential minerals appears to resist the uptake of toxic metals. This paper explores the literature to determine a suitable clinical approach with regard to vitamin D and essential mineral intake to achieve optimal biological function and to avoid harm in order to prevent and overcome illness. It appears preferable to secure essential mineral status in conjunction with adequate vitamin D, as intake of vitamin D in the absence of mineral sufficiency may result in facilitation of toxic element absorption with potential adverse clinical outcomes. READ MORE...
