Vitamin D levels.

[mummytosix]

Where are we supposed to be regarding vitamin D levels. Mine have just come back as 81 on a scale of 25-99000. Is this good or are we better off higher up the scale? Thanks 🙂

Are you in the UK? That upper limit is ridiculous, have they not heard of Vit D toxicity?

If the unit of measurement for your test is nmol/L then the Vit D Council recommends a level of 125nmol and the Vit D Society recommends 100-150nmol.

If the unit of measurement is ng/ml then the recommendations are 50ng/ml and 40-60ng/ml respectively.

Yes I’m in the uk. That’s the range that the doctor told me 🤔

So your level isn't bad but you might want to lift it a bit to be within the 100-150nmol range.

Thank you 😊

Just to add that your current level is not too bad for covid protection according to studies although even better if you get into the range suggested by Seaside Susie.
