What happens to unused vitamin D consumed from supplementation?

That gets stored in the fat. Overdose through ingestion is a thing, our bodies aren't so smart about that; it's skin synthesis specifically that limits itself.

How much causes overdose?

He is actually deficient, and 10k IU is not that unusual.

When I was deficient I took 20k IU per week for 6 weeks and was back to normal levels at the end. Taking 10k IU a day indefinitely seems insane. The numbers are just so wildly different.

Good thing he's measuring his levels and keeping an eye on them.
