What Are The Side Effects Of Vitamin D Pill?
I just took a 1000IU pill of Vitamin D# yesterday due to low Vit. D levels in my system. It made me feel really good and also made my joints feel better (I am almost 60 and a serious athlete). However, my intestinal tract is really upset and I have a metallic taste in my mouth. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the use of vitamin D.
I suggest to use a gastric protector in the morning before breakfast such as Omeprazole 20 mg per day.
I also suggest to eat a healthy diet and take vitamin D supplements with food to minimise the side effects.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
