As for D3 toxicity for humans, I added the following to the article:

10,000 IU D3 is 25 micrograms, that is, 0.000025 gram. About 0,0001 gram kills a rat, which equals four 10,000 IU D3 pills/capsules, so humans are not necessarily in immediate danger, but D3 surely doesn’t come with more benefit than harm. Also, people take D3 on a daily basis, which might not be the best idea, either.

I have been taking a lichen-derived (plant-based) form of Vitamin D3 in liquid drop form. I was unable to tolerate any other form of Vitamin D (I am vegan and gluten-free and sugar-free other than natural fruit sugars). I also switched to a Vitamin C that is derived from Acerola Cherries and other fruit sources. For A, I use a beta carotene supplement derived from fruits/vegetables, etc. As a Vegan (for 30+ years now) I've supplemented especially B12 , but all B vitamins and many of these in tincture form. It would seem logical that anything derived from synthetic processes, made in HUGE quantities and then packaged in highly preserved forms (capsule and tablets) would fail to have much efficacy and as you point out, be potentially harmful or even lethal. Have you researched the difference between naturally-sourced (for example food versus chemical-based) Vitamin supplements as I feel the difference?
