Be careful with Vitamin D as was discussed on this thread - if you are prone to hypertension this can raise your BP significantly. We all walk a fine line here in knowing what we can and cannot put into our bodies.

I have not heard of Vit D causing hypertension. I would like some links where you read this, or learned this, please.
The Mayo clinic site which is a bastion of conservative supplement ideology has an article about the reverse:
Vit D deficiency "may" be connected to hypertension
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vit...ciency/AN01925
Vitamin D TOXICITY however, may cause increased calcium levels, and this may result in hypertension in some people.
These levels are far and away higher than amounts suggested here on NT.

All known cases of vitamin D toxicity with hypercalcemia have involved intake of over 1,000 micrograms/day (40,000 IU) if taken in an attempt to increase the levels of vitamin D.

1000IU D3= 25 micrograms
Most NT members I have seen are using up to 5,000IU daily.
