Surrey's coroner is calling for changes to supplement packaging rules after an 89-year-old man died from a fatal vitamin D overdose. The man had been taking vitamin supplements for nine months, leading to toxic levels of vitamin D in his body. The coroner raised concerns about the lack of warnings and guidance on supplement packaging and has written to the Department of Health and Social Care and the Food Standards Agency. NHS guidance warns of the serious risks of excessive vitamin D intake, including hypercalcaemia, and recommends a daily dosage of 10 micrograms for most people.
