What Are the Side Effects of Nature's Way?
Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Vitamin D: 90,000 mcg per serving is over the 100 mcg/day upper limit (IOM (NIH ODS)) (about 900 times the limit). Taking more than this every day over time can raise calcium in the blood and urine (hypercalcaemia, hypercalciuria) and the risk of kidney stones. This amount is unusually high; check the units on the label.
•Zinc citrate form shows good absorption; doses above 40 mg elemental zinc risk copper deficiency with prolonged use.
•Elderberry extract anthocyanin standardization at 3.2% supports studied antiviral and antioxidant activity but human dosing varies widely.
•90 mg vitamin C is near the adult RDA and generally well tolerated without GI upset at this level.
•No specific allergen data provided; standard caution for berry-derived products in sensitive individuals.
