Symptoms appear several months after excessive doses of vitamin D are administered. A mutation of the CYP24A1 gene can lead to a reduction in the degradation of vitamin D and thus to vitamin toxicity without high oral intake (see Vitamin D: Excess). Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity may include the following: [2] Dehydration; Vomiting; Diarrhea

Mapping of several bone diseases onto levels of vitamin D (calcidiol) in the blood [6] Normal bone vs. osteoporosis. Vitamin D deficiency is typically diagnosed by measuring the concentration of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood, which is the most accurate measure of stores of vitamin D in the body.
While some studies have found that vitamin D 3 raises 25(OH)D blood levels faster and remains active in the body longer, [44] [45] others contend that vitamin D 2 sources are equally bioavailable and effective for raising and sustaining 25(OH)D. [46] [47] If digestive disorders compromise absorption, then intramuscular injection of up to ...
Hypovitaminosis D has been associated with many neurological conditions. However, an actual mechanism of action for each of the conditions has yet to be solidified. Many researchers have questioned whether the depletion of vitamin D actually causes these disorders or if vitamin D deficiency is a symptom of these disorders. [medical citation needed]

Hypervitaminoses are primarily caused by fat-soluble vitamins (D and A), as these are stored by the body for longer than the water-soluble vitamins. [1]
