    Don't you just pee it out if your body doesn't use it?

    No, certain vitamins like Vitamin D and other fat soluble vitamins, you can actually get vitamin toxicity. That said, this is pretty standard treatment for Vitamin D deficiency and in a few months the tests will come back better and the OP will go onto a maintenance dose. This is just to "flood" the body so to speak and get the numbers up fairly quickly.

    OP...currently on 5,000 IU maintenance dosage.

    Yup. I learned about this when I read about the Far Eastern Party. One of the members died and another became seriously ill from eating husky liver and the resulting vitamin A toxicity.
