Too much vitamin D can cause poisoning symptoms in children

A Vietnamese news site reports that errors in the dosage of vitamin D supplements in children can lead to an excessively high concentration in the body. According to the source, this can cause poisoning symptoms, although specific details about how often this occurs or what symptoms appear are missing.

The source points out that vitamin D is often added to dietary supplements and that parents sometimes unintentionally give too high a dose. It is not clear whether this only applies to self-purchased products or also to prescribed supplements. In the Netherlands, for example, vitamin D is often recommended for young children and people with dark skin.

The article emphasizes that correct dosing is important but does not provide concrete guidelines or advice. Parents are advised to contact a doctor or pharmacist if in doubt, although this is not explicitly stated in the source.
