According to the researchers, in this study, participants were given 2000 IU vitamin D3 per day, 3 times more than the general recommendation, but still the maximum safe limit was within 4000 IU. Experts believe that 600 to 800 IU vitamin D3 is sufficient for ordinary adults a day, but if you are taking 1,000 to 2,000 IU with doctor’s advice, it is also safe. Taking more quantity of this supplement can lead to a condition called hyper circlemia, in which the amount of calcium in the blood increases to dangerous levels. This can cause vomiting, constipation, kidney stone and other problems.
The results of this research are highly encouraging, but researchers have also made it clear that the trial was done for a short time and on a limited group. Therefore, it is too early to say that vitamin D supplement can be an anti-aging measure for everyone. Scientists suggest that this research needs to be done on long term and more population, so that this claim can be fully proved. If you want to reduce your biological age in a natural way, then spend some time in the sun, consume vitamin D -containing foods like eggs, fish and milk. If needed, take a supplement with the advice of a doctor.
