I had hypersalivation for 4 years. I finally figured out that my high daily dose of vitamin d (5000 iu) was causing it. No doctor ever figured that out because there is no literature to support that. my salivation returned to normal about 3 days after I reduced the dose to 2000 iu. however, during those 4 years, I successfully managed my hypersalivation with the following products:-- botox injections into the salivary glands every 3-4 months. This never gave me dry mouth. my insurance covered all but $100. my last injection lasted 6 months.-- alkaline water high in sodium bicarbonate. Fiji worked best. evian actually made my mouth too dry and cottony.-- calcium citrate 1000 mg twice a day. (this can cause dry mouth in people with normal salivation.)in my 4th year, i replaced botox with alkaline water and calcium. once i learned about the connection between calcium and vitamin d and dose reduced, i stopped taking calcium.
