now I’ve done so many videos on the

importance of vitamin D and why you

should take it and why people are

deficient I needed to create an opposite

video on when not to take vitamin D

silly because there’s always an

exception to the rule that being said I

do want to mention that vitamin D from

my viewpoint is the most important

nutrient simply because it’s really hard

almost impossible to get from your diet

and people are not outside anymore

like they used to so they’re not going

to get it from the Sun and the

consequences of not having enough

vitamin D for the immune system for your

bones for your joints creating a whole

back pain that being said there are

certain conditions where you’d want to

avoid taking vitamin D there’s really

only one side effect from taking

excessive amounts of vitamin D and that

would be hypercalcemia okay too much

calcium in the blood

simply because vitamin D helps you

absorb calcium by 20 times in the

intestines so if you’re getting too much

calcium in the blood that could be a

problem specifically for the kidney okay

kidney stones out of all of these

symptoms for hypocalcemia bone pain

excessive urination muscle weakness

right here and depression and anxiety

kidney stones would be the most serious

but since a kidney stone is really a

supersaturated calcium deposit with some

oxalates or uric acid if you were to

consume 2 to 2.5 or more liters of fluid

per day and keep your ox let’s kind of

low by avoiding almonds and spinach and

have some lemon juice that would cut the

risk way way down and the second thing I

want to mention is these conditions that

I’m talking about are usually states

where you’re also low in vitamin D but

sometimes you’re not supposed to take

vitamin D because of this furnace right

here but some doctors will put you in

vitamin D they’ll just monitor the

calcium in your blood which i think is a

smart thing for example the first

condition started

which is a condition which involves

along the skin the lymph nodes that can

involve other organs where you have this

these abnormal immune cells that are

stuck in the lungs encapsulating foreign

toxin or microbe or something but really

in only four to seven percent of the

cases they’ll seat hypercalcemia not in

100 percent of the cases and actually a

very low percent of cases but it’s just

something you should look at if you have

this condition and you’re taking vitamin

D alright next condition is primary

hyperparathyroidism this is a situation

we have a tumor affecting the

parathyroid and that’s producing a lot

of parathyroid hormone which is dumping

a lot of calcium into the body so you

can actually have this condition right

here and it could end up in the kidney

as well so you just want to be aware of

taking too much vitamin D or any vitamin

D if you have this condition all right

number three this is a rare genetic

disease which I probably shouldn’t even

put on the list because it’s so rare but

I wanted to just mention it familial

hypocalcemic hypercalcemia

in this condition you have hyper too

much calcium okay and so that would be

one condition we you would want to avoid

vitamin D before lithium can have an

effect of creating excessive calcium in

the blood so that is another thing on

the list okay number five diuretics

specifically hydrochlorothiazide so the

problem is as you get rid of the fluid

you can also get rid of calcium which

could end up in your kidney so if you

take more calcium it’s gonna cause more

calcium to go in the blood and end up in

the kidney potentially but it’s

something to know about okay number six

certain cancers will cause hypercalcemia

and number seven if you have a hyper

thyroid condition where your thyroid is

working too much that could dump a lot

of calcium into the blood as well so

realize these are the things that occur

very rarely but the most common thing is

someone has a deficiency but this is the

main problem and some of the symptoms

that could potentially happen with

this could be kidney stones bone pain

excessive urination muscle weakness and

depression alright thanks for watching
