Hypervitaminosis D is a condition that occurs after taking very high doses of vitamin D. An excess of vitamin D causes abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood.

This can severely damage the bones, soft tissues, and kidneys over time. It is almost always caused by forms of vitamin D that need a doctor's prescription.
