There have been thousands of studies done on Vitamin D and the vast majority of studies state that they were astonished at the remarkable LACK of vitamin D side effects. Of course, there are ALWAYS some side effects, but even placebos (sugar pills) have side effects in studies and you must COMPARE the amount and severity of side effects to those experienced by placebo.
For the most part, there just simply are no more side effects of Vitamin D than those experienced by users of placebos. But here are a few that you might experience and some help for them.
What's Magnesium Got to Do With it
In order to MAKE vitamin D in the blood, your body must USE UP magnesium. And a large proportion of people are already mildly to moderately magnesium deficient (really!). And therefore, some people who take Vitamin D and believe that they are having vitamin D side effects are ACTUALLY having Signs of Magnesium Deficiency!!
These side effects of Vitamin D that are actually magnesium deficiency symptoms are:
These vitamin d side effects can be easily overcome by taking Magnesium and Vitamin D together- with the magnesium in a dosage as outlined on the Magnesium Dosage page.
Quality of Pills and Ingredients
Some people get nausea, feel sleepy, get a rash or get a bad taste in their mouth. These vitamin D side effects are VERY OFTEN not due to the vitamin d itself, but due to the oil that is used as a carrier for the vitamin d!
You see, most vitamin capsules are made with oil and oil can go rancid over time. Even if the capsules have a date on them, there is no way to know how long the oil was sitting around before it was packaged.
If you feel sick, get sleepy or think that you are 'allergic' to vitamin d- then the very first thing to do is to change your Vitamin D Supplement to one that is either:
and this might solve your vitamin d side effects.

OR
If you have trouble swallowing pills or you are supplementing small children, there is Vitamin D in a Spray available to make things easier for you.
Muscle and Bone Pain
This is a side effect of vitamin d that is not so easy to remedy and is actually a sign that you really NEED TO CONTINUE taking the vitamin d. If you experience Pain from Vitamin D this very likely means that your bones have become somewhat demineralized from having vitamin d deficiency for a very long time.
When your bones are demineralized and you begin Vitamin D Therapy, this can cause calcium to begin to go back into the bones. When the calcium goes into the bones it drags fluids with it. This fluid can actually cause a small expansion of the 'collagen matrix' inside the bones and this expansion pushes out against the exterior covering of the bone which is very inflexible and has extensive nerve endings.
When this occurs, you can experience this as bone pain or even muscular pain. If you do experience pain, it is NOT Vitamin D Contraindication, a reason to be scared or to stop taking the vitamin d. If you continue with the Vitamin D Therapy, the pain should subside in a week or two. While uncomfortable, you will be better off in the long run if you manage the pain for this time and 'get through' to the other side.
