Excerpt:

"
Vitamin D is important for bone health, but can cause abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood, soft tissue, or blood vessels if taken above the upper limit of 4,000 IU a day. Currently, the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 600 IU daily for adults under the age of 70 and 800 IU for those over 70.

JAMA[/a], researchers analysed data from 39,243 people who participated in the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and looked at the trends of those who had a daily supplemental vitamin D intake of 1,000 IU or more, as well as those to took 4,000 IU or more, from 1999 through 2014.

The study's researchers found that more than 18 percent of people studied took 1,000 IU or more of vitamin D from 2013 to 2014, which is a dramatic uptick from the 0.3 percent who did the same thing between 1999 and 2000. Not only that, 3.2 percent of people studied took 4,000 IU or more of vitamin D a day between 2013 and 2014, which puts them at serious risk of health problems."

This article refers to people who take $4,000 IU or more. Could it be possible that people who already have an excess of calcium in the blood, soft tissue and/or blood vessels, may react to lower doses of vitamin D supplementation and cause them to release calcium (in the blood, soft tissue and blood vessels) at lower level of vitamin D intake?

This speaks to the vitamin D-calcium relationship, which may explain that some people's tinnitus gets worse. High vitamin D= High Calcium= High Tinnitus. Possible?

Aside from vitamin D as a possible trigger of T, I am interested to hear about the effect of calcium supplementation on T. Anyone on this forum experiencing an uptick of their T with intake of calcium supplements or ingestion of calcium-rich foods?

Interesting theory. A lot of people take a ton of extra calcium, way more than is possibly without drinking the milk of cows. Calcium-fortified everything.

Urgh, I was taking a LOT of vitamin D just before I developed Tinnitus.. Probably took an average of 10,000 iu a day for a couple months

It's really hard to know exactly what causes T, I have several T's and it got a little worse more then a week ago while it was getting progressively better right before. I also started taking vit D3 for winter hours recently, so may be related to this or the Magnesium I took at the same time (with Mag Taurate in it), but honestly I suspect that it was more stress related then vit D as I had tons of work and family stress the last months. As my D levels are pretty low, and to avoid other health issues I've read that you need quite a lot of Vit D3 (or sun) over long periods to get it in the right range and that Vit D can make your anxiety worse which can in return can make your T worse, so it's pretty complex and I have also read that low vit D can actually give you T so ...

You best take Vit D in the morning with some fat at breakfast (and always take Vit K2M7 with it!!!!) I also read that both vitamin D and Melatonin are essential mediators of the effect of sunlight in health so they somewhat compete with each other. So maybe Vit D messes with your natural melationin production.
I take Vit D in the morning (5000 IU) together with Vit K2 and 1-2Mg of Melatonin in the evening and one other 1mg at night if I can't get back to sleep and so far this has been the best combo to feel "good & fresh" in the morning and lower my anxiety together with Vitamine C (pure ascorbic acid) during the day to lower cortisol and to resists better to stress.

For some reason Magnesium also messes up things in my body, I can feel good with it a few days and then it makes me feel terrible. The last MagEnhance I took did definitely something bad to my T so go figure ... It has all to do with good balance which is difficult to obtain.
