It’s more complicated.
Whether you are getting enough can only be determined by blood test.
No testing then you do not know.
Examples:
Some people do not convert sun exposure into vitamin D well.
People who have more body fat have less vitamin d circulating because it gets trapped.
The only way to know is to get tested.
I’d guess your level is low. Have you had your blood tested for vitamin D serum levels?
Speaking of blood tests for Vitamin D. I’ve been around a few decades. Never had a Vitamin D level test in my life. Then CoupFlu hits, I go in for a physical, go to get my panel done and what do you know, there’s the test on my order.
Doc never told me I was getting one. I never got an answer for why it was on there. And I was never told that Vitamin D might also, among other benefits, be efficacious in preventing and/or ameliorating a case of the coof.
What I’d like to know: If Vitamin D level tests were up nationwide after the February 2020.
What did Big Med know and when did it know it.
I have not had D assay myself. However, my mother, who seems to share every single indication on a lab panel, did. She was slightly low. Doctor put her on 5,000 IU/day, which I have been on since 2012. Neither of us is/was high BMI.
