“Sufficient” in the US is 20 ng/mL, which is equal to 50 nmol/L.

However, this study says “Normal” is something above those numbers, which then conveys the various benefits with muscles.

Vitamin D tests can be bought for as little as $49 from places like DirectLabs.com, if your doctor won’t prescribe it.

Dont drink milk. Its got fat and calories and tastes great. It spikes your blood sugar and OH what about the lactose intolerant?!

And by the way you are sorely deficient in Vitamin D and its killing you.

>year ago my PCPhysician told me I was at low end of normal for VitD. Took a 50mcg pill daily. Am now at high end of normal.

It’s ‘cause I don’t get enough sun. Period. If I had the leisure time to sit about in the sun I’d not take the pill.

Just take a pill and quit worrying. BTWay, sufficient VitD also helps fight flu (e.g., like WuhanFlu).

Is it cause? Or effect? For example, people getting outdoors are likely to have higher vitamin D levels. People getting outdoors are more active and more likely to DO things compared to those who spend their older years inside.

Not saying supplementing with Vitamin D is bad. I think it makes a lot of sense to supplement SOME. Not mega-doses, but maybe 1-2,000 IU. Cost pennies and seems to have a lot of good results associated with it and almost no down side.

But like most studies I see now, the study design and results aren’t evidence of anything.

Vitamin D can also put calcium into arteries, a bad thing. Lots say to supplement D with K2 to stop that.
