Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.

I have developed calcium deficiency supplementing vitamin D, the higher the dose, the worse the deficiency. I'm trying to figure out how to solve this without having to supplement calcium which is a big no no!

Without calcium supplement, vitamin D causes excess urination which leads to excessive calcium excretion as seen in my 24 hour urinary calcium lab test. This happens on, off carnivore diet, so we can rule it out. Strangely these symptoms of calcium loss have always occurred shorty after raising my ferritin from a deficiency.

The higher the ferritin, the greater the calcium loss.

This excessive urination, sharp painful muscle spasms and cramps, confusion, brain fog, fatigue and extreme sleepiness symptoms have completely reversed taking 250 mg calcium. The mental as well as physical benefits which disappeared wees ago have now returned.

I don't even know where to begin to address the cause as I've never heard of anything remotely similar on any forum.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
