"According to the most recent findings by Carole Baggerly, her research
of nearly 10,000 people shows the ideal adult dose appears to be *8,000
IU's a day* to get most into the healthy range"
I think a lot of people believe the RDA is way too low for optimum
health for most vitamins. Some vitamins are not excreted quickly,
generally the oil soluble ones, and some care may be warranted. In
general, I think there are few to no deaths annually due to herbs and
vitamins whereas pharmaceutical drugs kill hundreds of thousands.
There are always more factors than we know. For example early in the
century it was just vit A B and C that were studied (gross
simplification), now its phyto this, ortho that, enzyme here amino acid
there. I like the idea of fresh and raw foods, probably vegetable
juicing, live and vibrant. Even enzymes and co-q 10 dont describe live
and vibrant. Vitamins add up in the cupboard. Its questionable. You
have your compartmentalized box with so many pills you are trying to get
your elderly loved one to take. Ugh. Herbs are good.

Ok,
But then it is no problem to eat at least the FDA recommendation, and
probably a bit more because they have set a minimal standard.

Vit D releases calcium into the bloodstream which is toxic in higher
amounts. Vit D overdose is still a possibility for human. Rodents dont
have an aversion to Vit D so rat poison can does them with a large amount
proportional to body size. FDA is widely considered corrupted by the
pharmaceutical industry. Vitamin levels are often minimal standards and not
for optimum health. Some of the standards were set a rather long time ago
with limited knowledge of biochemistry compared to today. Some standards
also change, for example the proposed optimum nutrition food pyramid,
illustrating that even supposedly unbiased standards are prone to error.
