AbstractBackground: Older humans who take high levels of vitamin D supplementation for a prolonged time may be at risk of vitamin D toxicity. It is unclear how dietary super-doses (10,000x greater than requirement) can affect vitamin D status in aged animals. Aged laying hens could be a model to compare with women in peri- or postmenopausal stages of life with vitamin D supplementation effects.
