Abstract

In the early 20th century in the United States, vitamin D fortification of food products was essential to the eradication of rickets. Since then, there has been a nearly 100-year period of building evidence connecting vitamin D insufficiency to a number of outcomes, which has coincided with growing public interest in and knowledge of the health advantages of vitamin D.

Together, these factors have caused a shift in which incidences of vitamin D intoxication have dramatically increased across the globe. Vitamin D toxicity is characterised by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)2D] values greater than 150 ng/ml (375 nmol/l) due to vitamin D overdose.

A study of lichen-based vitamin D3 pills has been performed and analysed by different tests.
