Hypervitaminosis D is a condition characterized by dangerously high vitamin D levels in the bloodstream. It is caused by excessive intake of vitamin D supplements, typically over 10,000 IU daily for extended periods. The Vitamin D blood test is the most important test for diagnosis because it directly measures both vitamin D2 and D3 levels to confirm toxicity.

Hypervitaminosis D is caused by excessive intake of vitamin D supplements, typically exceeding 10,000 IU daily over weeks or months. Unlike vitamin D from sunlight, which the body naturally regulates, supplemental vitamin D can accumulate to toxic levels when taken in large amounts. This excessive vitamin D causes the intestines to absorb too much calcium from food, leading to hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels). Certain medical conditions like granulomatous diseases or some lymphomas can also increase vitamin D production in the body, though supplement overuse remains the most common cause.
The Vitamin D blood test is the most important test for hypervitaminosis D because it directly measures both vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 levels in your bloodstream. This test definitively confirms whether your vitamin D levels have reached toxic ranges above 150 ng/mL, compared to the normal range of 30-100 ng/mL. The test identifies which form of vitamin D is elevated, helping your doctor determine whether the toxicity stems from D2 or D3 supplements. Your healthcare provider may also order calcium and parathyroid hormone tests to assess complications like hypercalcemia, but the vitamin D test remains essential for initial diagnosis and monitoring your recovery after stopping supplementation.
You should get tested if you take high-dose vitamin D supplements (above 4,000 IU daily) and experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, or excessive thirst and urination. Testing is also crucial if you have been taking vitamin D supplements without medical supervision for several months, especially if you recently increased your dosage. Get tested immediately if you develop bone pain, kidney problems, or confusion, as these indicate advanced toxicity. Anyone taking prescription-strength vitamin D or combining multiple supplements containing vitamin D should have their levels checked regularly to prevent toxicity before serious complications develop.
