However, to reduce the risk of vitaminosis D, the study excluded women who took calcium supplements, as well as women with a history of bladder or kidney stones, renal failure, or hypercalcemia. Despite the near-ideal experimental setup, after a median follow-up period of twenty-five months, there was no significant difference between fractures in the treatment group compared to the control group.
Another three-year study compared three different doses of vitamin D—400 IU/day, 4,000 IU/day, and 10,000 IU/day—specifically looking at bone density. Surprisingly, those on the highest dosage had a statistically significantly worse outcome in terms of bone mineral density.28
I would argue that systemic sulfate deficiency drives calcium into the arteries, leaching it from the bones— and excessive vitamin D increases the rate at which this happens.
