Optimal level for vitiman d

[Tiredmum75]

Hi what’s the optimal level for vitiman d when you have Hashimotos thank you

The vitamin D Council has lots of good information. Generally it's thought a level of around 100nmol or mid-range is good.

Thanks nanaedake

Just be aware that GP's often prescribe too little VitD to make a difference. So do you have your results for VitD ? If so post here and members can suggest a reasonable dose

[Tiredmum75 in reply to Marz]

My last test was 3 months ago with a level of 78

[Marz in reply to Tiredmum75]

Are you supplementing ?

[Tiredmum75 in reply to Marz]

No marz not at the moment

[Marz in reply to Tiredmum75]

Taking at least 3000 IU's could be helpful in increasing levels. It is fat soluble so look out for a capsule containing Olive Oil or take with the fattiest meal. Also take Magnesium and VitK2-MK7 as important co-factors. Re-test at the end of Spring to see where your levels are - you may then be able to reduce dose. If you have absorption issues then an under the tongue spray would be good - some contain VitK2-MK7 as well I take Healthy Origins from Amazon - 5000 IU's ....

What dose is the VitD ? How many IU's per capsule ?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Tiredmum75]

What brand is it? Is it a tablet or a capsule or a softgel? What does the label say for ingredients?

Vit D Council recommends a level of 100-150nmol/L or 40-60ng/ml depending on what unit of measurement your test has.

Cenovis vitiman d3 1000iu tablet

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Tiredmum75]

Probably find just over 100nmol is better
