The recommended daily vitamin D intake for an average adult is 600 international units (IU), which can be obtained naturally from foods like eggs and oily fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel), along with moderate sun exposure. 🐟☀️

Most supplements contain 1000 IU, far exceeding what you need! Too much vitamin D causes more calcium to be excreted in your urine, raising your risk of developing calcium-based kidney stones.

Unless you've been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, it’s best to skip the supplements! 🙌🏻

Stent can be uncomfortable – there’s no sugarcoating it! But removing a stent too early may disrupt proper healing and increase the risk of complications like infections or blockages. 😫

In fact, one study found that people who had their stent removed within 3 days were more likely to end up in the ER than those who kept it in for 4–5 days*.

We know it can be tough, but follow your doctor’s instructions for stent removal. Those extra days are crucial for your ureter to heal up and could prevent another trip to the ER! 🚨
