Hi timinko2016. Mine was around 26 earlier in the year and I used the Betteryou brand DLux 3000 with added vitK. After 6wks it was 56 and after 3mths it was 98. HTH 🤗

Was the unit of measurement for your Vit D result nmol/L? If so that's different from timinko2016 's as hers is ug/l. With ug/l 60 is classed as high, with nmol/L 60 would be classed as insufficient so 24.17ug/l is low.

That’s true but the poster is still insufficient so would be ok on the 3000 for hopefully quick results and then on to a maintenance dose. But good spot SeasideSusie 🤗

Using this calculator unitslab.com/node/84

24.17ug/l is the same as ng/ml which is the same as 60.42nmol/L

The Vit D Council recommends a level of 50ng/ml [50ug/l] (125nmol/L) and the Vit D Society recommends a level of 40-60ng/ml [40-60ug/l] (100-150nmol/L).

To reach the recommended level from your current level the Vit D Council suggests supplementing with 3,700iu D3 daily

vitamindcouncil.org/i-teste...

Retest after 3 months.

When you've reached the recommended level then you'll need a maintenance dose to keep it there, which may be 2000iu daily, maybe more or less, maybe less in summer than winter, it's trial and error so it's recommended to retest once or twice a year to keep within the recommended range. You can do this with a private fingerprick blood spot test with an NHS lab which offers this test to the general public:

There are important cofactors needed when taking D3 as recommended by the Vit D Council -

vitamindcouncil.org/about-v...

D3 aids absorption of calcium from food and K2-MK7 directs the calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be deposited and cause problems such as hardening of the arteries, kidney stones, etc.

D3 and K2 are fat soluble so should be taken with the fattiest meal of the day, D3 four hours away from thyroid meds if taking tablets/capsules/softgels, no necessity if using an oral spray

Magnesium helps D3 to work. We need Magnesium so that the body utilises D3, it's required to convert Vit D into it's active form. So it's important we ensure we take magnesium when supplementing with D3.

Magnesium comes in different forms, check to see which would suit you best and as it's calming it's best taken in the evening, four hours away from thyroid meds if taking tablets/capsules, no necessity if using topical forms of magnesium.

Check out the other cofactors too (some of which can be obtained from food).
