My understanding is that 60-90 ng/ml are optimal. Why do you say 75 ng/ml is the specific target. Is your point that that’s the average of 60 and 90?

I had my d3 levels tested recently they were 68 ng/ml. I have been taking 10iu per day. Morning and evening. sounds like you recommend all in the morning. I get that morning corresponds with sun and circadian rythm. but then you d3 levels go down during the evening. Is your point that that’s natural? And further than you want your melatonin levels to go up as d3 goes down?

Slight misunderstanding. My two most recent D3 tests were 74 and 75 ng/ml. I would like to be at 90 ng/ml. I also take 10000 iu daily. The new D3 alt health understanding is that 60-90 ng/ml are optimal. The conventional levels that average Docs will recommend are BS

Even Centrum Silver has upped its D3 game to one or two thousand iu D3. I cannot find the exact number right now

At 10000 iu daily you should be taking K2 also. 2nd most important is taking a solid magnesium supplement. Magnesium Threonate is the ultimate. It is supposed to up your brain functioning. I just ordered some Threonate so I know the best deal. It is the one from Now Foods ($22) found at Amazon. Magnesium glycinate is what I will still be using. There are lots on the market. The best is probably Now Foods magnesium bisglycinate. It has less magnesium per volume but is more absorbable due to having 2 glycinate molecules

Magnesium supplements must be taken with water or juice. BUT what I do is pop some of the Now bisglycinate powder in my mouth and hold for 5-10 minutes to hydrate it
