Meanwhile, my daily 5000IU Vitamin D pills were recalled by some authority in Finland for “excessive dose”, and since it appears that a recall anywhere in the EU will apply to the whole EU, I was given a refund and presumably won’t be able to buy it again.

5kIU = 125 micrograms, that's a lot.

I doubt it has 100% bioavailability. Anyway, I don’t trust the low “recommended” amounts.

Do we need to be skeptical of NIH because of Trump? or they're still okay?

Also, remember - don't take D on its own. Always with magnesium, or you get harmed by it, for all that it also does you good. Body is not built for raw D.

Also also remember, D2 is a vitamin, D3 is a hormone.

I don't think this paper is associated with the NIH besides being hosted there.

As a naive person, what's the consequence of this?

I mean, I agree MAHA sucks, and Kennedy is a fool and and loser, but the PDF is only hosted at the NIH. It was published in a journal owned by the Korean Society for Preventive Medicine, and the researcher is from Attikon University Hospital, University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece. And it was published WAAAAAAAY back in 2017.

So do your research or something.
