Not bad at all - but that calcium is bordering questionable. Sounds as if you might get away with a bit less calcium.
This

suggests 40-60ng/ml for vit D because of the vagaries of the assays.

I noted that and I am going to decrease Ca supplementation by approximately 100 - 150 mg per day to around 350-400 mg.
Thinking about switching to Dr Mercola’s blend and cease the individual D3 & K2 and add about 200 mg Calcium citrate as a separate supplement.
Looking forward to getting my second DEXA scan in January.
