| That would be 5g. At this point everyone should notice that something is off. :-D
5000 mg of vitamin D3 = 200,000,000 IU (200 million IU) |

| More often written as 200,000 IU as 5000mg of D3 is not written as 5,000,000mcg The author simply (and terrible mistaking) typed [mg] instead of [UI] in the first paragraph: if readed entirely, the author correct this typo in every other sentence |

| ▲ | hermannj314 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | I bought the once weekly 50,000IU bottle on Amazon and am currently taking 4 a day and I am ignoring all growing signs of vitamin D toxicity because I read this guys blog and never once ever decided to consult another source, including later paragraphs in that same blog because there was no warning. Without a warning, you should blindly follow all medical advice you read online. That is that pathway to death you are worried about? | | |

I'd like to think this would give even the dumbest of people pause just because of the practicality aspect. | | |
