The Vit D Council recommend a level of 125nmol/L (they used to say 100-150nmol/L).

As you've now reached 152nmol/L I would just slightly reduce your dose, maybe take 3000iu on 6 days a week rather than 7.

From what I understand, for bone health it's recommended to take Vit D, K2, Magnesium and Boron.

Blog post on Cytoplan about bone health, it does mention calcium but also talks about the importance of boron

Excellent read SeaSide Susie being as i eat a lot of foods fruits nuts etc that contain Boron i should be ok i also take D3 k2 mk7 in capsule form i eat all sorts of fish more than meat so that contains calcium plus red top milk a glass a day i think ill be ok without anymore supplements re my bones etc do you agree?

Yes, I thought it was odd. They say above 150nmol/L can be potentially toxic.

Here is the article recommending 125nmol/L

vitamindcouncil.org/for-hea...

There doesn't seem to be a date on it.

On my results it says Greater than 150nmo/L Vit D sufficient but consistant levels above 250 nmo/L are associated with toxicity

It would be nice, and less confusing, if they all sang from the same hymn sheet. City Assays say "Total Vit D levels above 220nmol/L are considered high and increase the risk of toxicity.

I'm happy to keep mine between 125 - 150.

My mistake, I was looking at a different page where the units of measurement were only in ng/ml rather than both units of measurements.
