We are over the age of 78 years and we have been taking Forte 4000D for over 4 years does these vitamins do harm if you take them for long periods

Thank you for your question.
Forte 4000D provides vitamin D at a level of 4000 IU (international units), which is considered a safe daily dose for most adults, even when used over long periods. Vitamin D plays a vital role in bone strength, immune function, and overall wellbeing, especially as we age.
However, the body’s vitamin D requirements can vary from person to person. It’s a good idea to speak to your doctor and ask them to check your blood levels of vitamin D (known as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D). This will show whether your current intake is ideal or if a lower/ higher strength might be more suitable for your needs.
So to wrap up, Forte 4000D is safe for regular, long-term use, but adjusting your dose based on your individual vitamin D level helps ensure you’re getting the right balance for optimal health.
