It's rather a large subject, but Vitamin D is not just a "vitamin", it's a hormone and it affects gene expression.
I take around 5,000 IU of it a day, and 10,000 of vitamin A, and several mg of vitamin K2, since they act together as a team. Vitamin A also affects gene expression and K2 directs calcium to the right places and away from the wrong places.
If you take large amounts of D by itself, you are likely to eventually experience symptoms of "vitamin D toxicity". It actually is not Vitamin D toxicity so much as being out of balance with the other two vitamins.
