vitamin D deficiency

will an adult with vitamin D deficiency get jaundice?
she is taking 50,000 units of vitamin D daily.  Also taking B-12 1,000mcg a day.   Would any of these cause her to be jaundice?

your bodys requirement for vitamin  is relatively low. Unlike  most other nutrients we comsume the body does not excrete excess vitaminD.  It is stored in the bodys fat cells where it can accumulate to toxic levels over time.  Please check with her doctor. It is possible that could cause her jaundice. Hope this helps
