Vitamin D is a popular yet controversial supplement. One reason for the controversy is that people are concerned about suffering toxicities if they take too much.

Some of this concern is merited: Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning that compared with water-soluble vitamins, such as B-group vitamins and vitamin C, it’s stored in the body for a much longer time, which carries a higher risk of toxicity.
