00:00Millions take it daily, but for 16 people, it led to emergency hospital visits.
00:05A terrifying health alert has been issued in Spain after 16 people were hospitalized from taking defective vitamin D tablets.
00:12These weren't random pills. They were bought online, without any medical supervision.
00:16The result? A dangerous overdose called hypervitaminosis D, causing a calcium buildup that can damage your kidneys, weaken your bones, and even prove fatal.
00:26Victims suffered nausea, vomiting, confusion, and some had acute kidney failure.
00:32All of them were previously healthy.
00:34Authorities now warn, don't take supplements without blood tests or proper advice.
00:39Even though vitamin D is essential, too much of it can silently destroy your health.
00:43And the worst part? That contaminated batch may have spread beyond the Balearic Islands.
00:48Experts are urging people to stop guessing their needs and speak to a doctor first.
00:53Because when it comes to supplements, more is not always better.
00:56It could be deadly.
