Regarding health and "poisoning", Vitamine D is not a "vitamine" (the definition of this stuff is debatable anyway) but a hormone. "[...] Inadequate levels of vitamin D3 can therefore affect many different systems in the body. The skin's ability to synthesize it decreases with age, which is why people over 65 are a risk group for a mild vitamin D3 deficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, slowed thinking, depression, muscle weakness and cramps, pain in the knees and back, sleep disorders, skin problems, increased susceptibility to infections and bacterial infections. In adults, painful bone softening, osteomalacia, can occur, while a deficiency in children in combination with a calcium deficiency leads to rickets. If a deficiency is detected, vitamin D3 can be substituted with tablets. However, as everywhere else, care must be taken to avoid overdosing, as this can also be harmful. Animal experiments have shown that a chronic excess of vitamin D3 leads to premature ageing. Other possible consequences include cancer, curvature of the spine, skin ageing, damage to the small intestine, testosterone deficiency and impotence. [...]" Translated with DeepL.com (free version) https://mic-berlin.de/vitmain-d-ist-kein-vitamin/ So while "vitamine D" (it is not a "vitamine" but a neurotransmitter) is of course 'good' and useful I would not describe it as a "Wunderwaffe" against all the bad in this world, and especially not for everyone.
