Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Yoplait Greek 100 (Vanilla flavor). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used in amounts commonly found in foods. Lemon has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (4912).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when inhaled in amounts used for aromatherapy, short-term. Lemon essential oil has been used with apparent safety as aromatherapy for up to 2 weeks in clinical research (93475,98128,98129). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lemon when used topically, or when used orally or intranasally in medicinal amounts.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available.
Avoid using in amounts greater than those typically found in foods.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally or intramuscularly and appropriately. Vitamin A, as pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester), is safe in adults when taken in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 10,000 IU (3000 mcg) per day (7135). Higher doses increase the risk of side effects. There is also growing concern that taking high doses of antioxidants such as vitamin A might do more harm than good. In an analysis of studies, taking vitamin A supplements alone or in combination with other antioxidants is associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes (15305,90775). Keep in mind that vitamin A is available in two different forms: pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) and provitamin A (carotenoids). The safety concerns associated with high vitamin A intake occur with pre-formed vitamin A only. Some supplements contain vitamin A in both pre-formed and provitamin A forms. For these supplements, the amount of pre-formed vitamin A should be used to determine if the amount of vitamin A is safe.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used topically and appropriately, short-term. Retinol 0.5% has been used on the skin daily for up to 12 weeks with apparent safety. No serious adverse effects have been reported in clinical trials (103671,103680).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally in high doses. Doses higher than the UL of 10,000 IU (3000 mcg) per day of pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) might increase the risk of side effects (7135). While vitamin A 25,000 IU (as retinyl palmitate) daily for 6 months followed by 10,000 IU daily for 6 months has been used with apparent safety in one clinical trial (95052), prolonged use of excessive doses of vitamin A can cause significant side effects such as hypervitaminosis A. The risk for developing hypervitaminosis A is related to total cumulative dose of vitamin A rather than a specific daily dose (1467,1469). There is also concern that taking high doses of antioxidants such as vitamin A might do more harm than good. In an analysis of studies, taking vitamin A supplements alone or in combination with other antioxidants is associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes (15305,90775). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of using sublingual formulations of vitamin A.
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally or intramuscularly and appropriately.
The amount of pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) that is safe depends on age. For children up to 3 years of age, doses less than 2000 IU (600 mcg) per day seem to be safe. For children ages 4 to 8, doses less than 3000 IU (900 mcg) per day seem to be safe. For children ages 9 to 13, doses less than 5667 IU (1700 mcg) per day seem to be safe. For children 14 to 18, doses less than 9333 IU (2800 mcg) per day seem to be safe (7135). Keep in mind that vitamin A is available in two different forms: pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) and provitamin A (carotenoids). The safety concerns associated with high vitamin A intake occur with pre-formed vitamin A only. Some supplements contain vitamin A in both pre-formed and provitamin A forms. For these supplements, the amount of pre-formed vitamin A should be used to determine if the amount of vitamin A is safe.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) is used orally in excessive doses.
For children up to 3 years of age, avoid doses greater than 2000 IU (600 mcg) per day. For children ages 4 to 8, avoid doses greater than 3000 IU (900 mcg) per day. For children ages 9 to 13, avoid doses greater than 5667 IU (1700 mcg) per day. For children ages 14 to 18, avoid doses greater than 9333 IU (2800 mcg) per day (7135). Higher doses of vitamin A supplementation have been associated with increased risk of side effects such as pneumonia, bone pain, and diarrhea (319,95051). Long-term supplementation with low to moderate doses on a regular basis can cause severe, but usually reversible, liver damage (11978).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally or intramuscularly and appropriately.
Vitamin A, as pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester), is safe during pregnancy and lactation when used in doses less than 10,000 IU (3000 mcg) per day (7135,16823,107293). Keep in mind that vitamin A is available in two different forms: pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester) and provitamin A (carotenoids). The safety concerns associated with high vitamin A intake occur with pre-formed vitamin A only. Some supplements contain vitamin A in both pre-formed and provitamin A forms. For these supplements, the amount of pre-formed vitamin A should be used to determine if the amount of vitamin A is safe.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally or intramuscularly in excessive doses.
Daily intake of greater than 10,000 IU (3000 mcg) can cause fetal malformations (3066,7135). Excessive dietary intake of vitamin A has also been associated with teratogenicity (11978). The first trimester of pregnancy seems to be the critical period for susceptibility to vitamin A-associated birth defects such as craniofacial abnormalities and abnormalities of the central nervous system (7135). Pregnant patients should monitor their intake of pre-formed vitamin A (retinol or retinyl ester). This form of vitamin A is found in several foods including animal products, some fortified breakfast cereals, and dietary supplements (3066).
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally or intramuscularly and appropriately. Vitamin D has been safely used in a wide range of doses (7555,16888,16891,17476,95913,98186,104619,105209,109059). When used orally long-term, doses should not exceed the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily for adults (17506,99773); however, much higher doses such as 50,000 IU (1250 mcg) weekly orally for 6-12 weeks are often needed for the short-term treatment of vitamin D deficiency (16891,17476). Monthly oral doses of up to 60,000 IU (1500 mcg) have also been safely used for up to 5 years (105726). Toxicity usually does not occur until plasma levels exceed 150 ng/mL (17476).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally in excessive doses, long-term. Taking doses greater than the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily for long periods can increase the risk of hypercalcemia (17506); however, much higher doses are often needed for short-term treatment of vitamin D deficiency. Toxicity typically occurs when levels exceed 150 ng/mL (17476).
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately.
When used long-term, doses should not exceed the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 1000 IU (25 mcg) daily for those 0-6 months of age, 1500 IU (37.5 mcg) daily for those 6-12 months of age, 2500 IU (62.5 mcg) daily for those 1-3 years of age, 3000 IU (75 mcg) daily for those 4-8 years of age, and 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily for those 9 years and older (17506); however, much higher doses are often needed for the short-term treatment of vitamin D deficiency. Some research shows that giving vitamin D 14,000 IU (350 mcg) weekly for a year in children aged 10-17 years is safe (16875). A meta-analysis of clinical studies shows that 1000 IU (25 mcg) daily in those up to a year of age and greater than 2000 IU (50 mcg) daily in those aged 1-6 years does not increase the risk of serious adverse events (108424).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally in excessive doses for longer than one year.
Taking doses greater than the tolerable upper intake level (UL) long-term can increase the risk of hypercalcemia (17506).
PREGNANCY: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately.
Vitamin D is safe when used in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily (17506,95910).
PREGNANCY: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally in excessive amounts.
Tell patients not to use doses above the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily. Hypercalcemia during pregnancy due to excessive vitamin D intake can lead to several fetal adverse effects, including suppression of parathyroid hormone, hypocalcemia, tetany, seizures, aortic valve stenosis, retinopathy, and mental and/or physical developmental delay (17506).
LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately.
Vitamin D is safe when used in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily (17506).
LACTATION: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally in excessive amounts.
Tell patients not to use doses above the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 4000 IU (100 mcg) daily (17506).
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Yoplait Greek 100 (Vanilla flavor). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, taking itraconazole capsules or tablets with a beverage containing lemon might increase the levels and clinical effects of itraconazole.
 Details
In one case report, dissolving itraconazole tablets in a small amount of specific beverages containing lemon prior to administration increased the level of itraconazole in a lung transplant patient. In this case, the increased bioavailability was desirable and was likely due to improved tablet dissolution in the acidic beverage (110781).
|
Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
Details
|
Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Details
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements (3046).
|
Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Details
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition (10545,10546,10547). Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.
|
Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Details
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism (505). Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.
|
Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
Details
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption (11595,11597,22916). This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically (11529,11596,11597).
|
Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
Details
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change (16828). Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.
|
Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Details
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia (15). Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
|
Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
Details
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found (110539). A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced (16828). While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.
|
Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
Details
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin (15). Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.
|
Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
Details
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation (10574). Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.
|
Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Details
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently (3072,11541,69580). This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily (11539,11540).
|
Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Details
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation (10574). Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Yoplait Greek 100 (Vanilla flavor). Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, lemon is well tolerated in amounts commonly found in foods.
A thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted on the use of larger amounts.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Epigastralgia and heartburn with the regular consumption of fresh lemon juice.
Dermatologic ...Topically, the application of lemon oil might cause photosensitivity, due to furocoumarin derivative content. This occurs most often in fair-skinned people (11019).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, fresh lemon juice, taken as 60 mL twice daily, has been reported to cause gastrointestinal disturbances in 37% of patients in one clinical trial, compared with 8% of patients in the placebo group. Specifically, of the patients consuming lemon juice, 21% experienced heartburn and 8% experienced epigastralgia, compared to 1% and 3%, respectively, in the placebo group (107489).
General
...Orally, vitamin A is generally well-tolerated at doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL).
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: In very high doses, vitamin A can cause pseudotumor cerebri, pain, liver toxicity, coma, and even death.
Dermatologic ...Chronic oral use of large amounts of vitamin A causes symptoms of vitamin A toxicity including dry skin and lips; cracking, scaling, and itchy skin; skin redness and rash; hyperpigmentation; shiny skin, and massive skin peeling (7135,95051). Hypervitaminosis A can cause brittle nails, cheilitis, gingivitis, and hair loss (15,95051). Adverse effects from a single ingestion of a large dose of vitamin A is more common in young children than adults (15). In children, approximately 25,000 IU/kg can cause skin redness and generalized peeling of the skin a few days later and may last for several weeks (15).
Gastrointestinal ...There is some evidence that oral vitamin A supplementation might increase the risk of diarrhea in children. Although vitamin A can prevent diarrhea and reduce mortality in malnourished children, doses as low as 10,000 IU weekly for 40 weeks have been associated with diarrhea in well-nourished children (319). Diarrhea (82326,82389), nausea (7135,100329), abdominal pain (95051), abdominal fullness (100329), and vomiting (7135,82559,95051,95055,109755) have been reported following use of large doses of oral vitamin A. Adverse effects from a single ingestion of a large dose of vitamin A is more common in young children than adults (15). In children, approximately 25,000 IU/kg can cause vomiting and diarrhea (15). Chronic use of large amounts of vitamin A causes symptoms of vitamin A toxicity including anorexia, abdominal discomfort, and nausea and vomiting (7135).
Genitourinary ...Hypervitaminosis A can cause reduced menstrual flow (15). Intravaginally, all-trans retinoic acid can cause vaginal discharge, itching, irritation, and burning (9199).
Hematologic ...Hypervitaminosis A can cause spider angiomas, anemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia (15,95051).
Hepatic ...Since the liver is the main storage site for vitamin A, hypervitaminosis A can cause hepatotoxicity, with elevated liver enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT, formerly SGPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST, formerly SGOT), as well as fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatomegaly, portal hypertension, and death (6377,7135,95051).
Musculoskeletal
...Vitamin A can increase the risk for osteoporosis and fractures.
Observational research has found that chronic, high intake of vitamin A 10,000 IU or more per day is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture in postmenopausal adults, as well as overall risk of fracture in middle-aged males (7712,7713,9190). A meta-analysis of these and other large observational studies shows that high dietary intake of vitamin A or retinol is associated with a 23% to 29% greater risk of hip fracture when compared with low dietary intake (107294). High serum levels of vitamin A as retinol also increase the risk of fracture in males. Males with high serum retinol levels are seven times more likely to fracture a hip than those with lower serum retinol levels (9190). Vitamin A damage to bone can occur subclinically, without signs or symptoms of hypervitaminosis A. Some researchers are concerned that consumption of vitamin A fortified foods such as margarine and low-fat dairy products in addition to vitamin A or multivitamin supplements might cause excessive serum retinol levels. Older people have higher levels of vitamin A and might be at increased risk for vitamin A-induced osteoporosis.
Vitamin A's effects on bone resorption could lead to hypercalcemia (95051).
Hypervitaminosis can cause slow growth, premature epiphyseal closure, painful hyperostosis of the long bones, general joint pain, osteosclerosis, muscle pain, and calcium loss from the bones (15,95051). One child experienced severe bone pain after taking vitamin A 600,000 IU daily for more than 3 months (95051). Vitamin A was discontinued and symptoms lessened over a period of 2 weeks. The patient made a full recovery 2 months later.
Neurologic/CNS
...Orally, adverse effects from a single large dose of vitamin A are more common in young children than adults (15).
Headache, increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure, vertigo, and blurred vision have been reported following an acute oral dose of vitamin A 500,000 IU (7135). In children, approximately 25,000 IU/kg can cause headache, irritability, drowsiness, dizziness, delirium, and coma (15). Chronic use of large amounts of vitamin A causes symptoms of vitamin A toxicity including fatigue, malaise, lethargy, and irritability (7135).
There are reports of bulging of the anterior fontanelle associated with an acute high oral dose of vitamin A in infants (7135,90784,95053,95054). In children, approximately 25,000 IU/kg can cause increased intracranial pressure with bulging fontanelles in infants (15). Also, muscular incoordination has been reported following short-term high doses of vitamin A (7135).
A case of intracranial hypertension involving diffuse headaches and brief loss of vision has been reported secondary to topical use of vitamin A. The patient was using over-the-counter vitamin A preparations twice daily including Avotin 0.05% cream, Retin-A gel 0.01%, and Isotrexin gel containing isotretinoin 0.05% and erythromycin 2%, for treatment of facial acne. Upon exam, the patient was noted to have bilateral optic disc edema. The patient discontinued use of topical vitamin A products. Two months later, the patient reported decreased headaches and an improvement in bilateral optic disc edema was seen (95056).
Ocular/Otic ...In children, oral vitamin A approximately 25,000 IU/kg can cause swelling of the optic disk, bulging eyeballs, and visual disturbances (15). Adverse effects from a single ingestion of a large dose of vitamin A are more common in young children than adults (15).
Oncologic ...There is concern that high intake of vitamin A might increase some forms of cancer. Population research suggests high vitamin A intake might increase the risk of gastric carcinoma (9194).
Psychiatric ...Chronic oral use of large amounts of vitamin A causes symptoms of vitamin A toxicity, which can include symptoms that mimic severe depression or schizophrenic disorder (7135).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...There is some evidence that oral vitamin A supplementation might increase the risk of pneumonia and diarrhea in children. Although vitamin A can prevent diarrhea and reduce mortality in malnourished children, doses as low as 10,000 IU weekly for 40 weeks have been associated with pneumonia and diarrhea in well-nourished children (319). In preschool children, high-dose vitamin A also increases the risk of respiratory infection (82288).
Other ...Chronic use of large amounts of vitamin A (>25,000 IU daily for more than 6 years or 100,000 IU daily for more than 6 months) can cause symptoms of vitamin A toxicity including mild fever and excessive sweating (7135). High intakes of vitamin A may result in a failure to gain weight normally in children and weight loss in adults (15).
General
...Orally or intramuscularly, vitamin D is well tolerated.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally or intramuscularly: Excessive doses can lead to vitamin D toxicity with symptoms of hypercalcemia, and also sometimes azotemia and anemia.
Cardiovascular ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses. Rarely, people develop hypertension (10142). An analysis of clinical research suggests that, when taken orally, vitamin D might modestly increase levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. However, it is not clear if this increase is clinically significant (84642).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, vitamin D may cause dry mouth. In clinical research, intake of vitamin D 50,000 IU weekly for 4 weeks followed by 50,000 IU monthly for 5 months thereafter was associated with a 3.7-fold increase in reports of dry mouth compared with placebo (91348).Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses. Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include pancreatitis (10142,84433). Vomiting occurred in one patient given a single dose of 200,000 IU (104624).
Genitourinary ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses. Advanced symptoms may include decreased libido (10142). Vaginal discharge and itching have been reported in a clinical trial following oral use (91348).
Hematologic
...Lab values of urinary and blood calcium, phosphate, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, serum cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase concentrations might increase with vitamin D use, especially with high doses (10142,91349,93943).
A case of elevated international normalized ration (INR) has been reported for an 84 year-old patient who took vitamin D 50,000 IU daily for 2 months. The patient's serum levels of vitamin D increased from <7 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL over 6 months. To resolve symptoms, vitamin D supplementation was discontinued (84433).
Musculoskeletal ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken in excessive doses (10142,17506). Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include osteoporosis in adults and decreased growth in children (10142).
Ocular/Otic ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses (10142,17506). Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include calcific conjunctivitis and photophobia (10142).
Psychiatric ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses (10142,17506). In rare cases, symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include psychosis (10142,93002).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses. Advanced symptoms of vitamin D toxicity may include runny nose (10142,17506,93002).
Renal ...Vitamin D intoxication can occur when vitamin D supplements are taken orally in excessive doses. Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include azotemia. Vitamin D may also cause hypercalcemia, with advanced symptoms including kidney stones or kidney insufficiency due to precipitation of calcium phosphate in the tubules. Symptoms of renal impairment include frequency, nighttime awakening to urinate, thirst, inability to concentrate urine, and proteinuria. Renal impairment is usually reversible with discontinuation of vitamin D supplements (10142,93002,93943,110831,110833).
