u/krimsen · 3 pointsr/TrueReddit

So I went this morning and got my blood test results. Vitamin D 25-oh test shows my level at 47.6 ng/ml.

This is the highest I've ever been - my normal, before I was purposely supplementing (getting about 2000IU per day from just my normal daily multivitamin) has never been over 35 ng/ml and at times even went as low as 16 ng/ml (rarely, but it has dipped that low.)

I specifically mention this for 2 reasons:

  • Since "adequate" or "normal range" is consdered 30-100 ng/ml, I would never have thought that going from 35 to my current level of 47 would mean much of anything or have any noticeable result. The takeaway for me is that for all the other results I'm in "normal range" for (i.e. sodium, glucose, B12, etc), it's worth playing with diet/supplements to see if raising/lowering those numbers have any practical benefits.

  • It's troubling to me the "normal range" is defined so broadly and no health practitioner (aside from my dentist/nutritionist) has ever mentioned Vitamin D to me in a serious way. If I weren't been such an avid reader and willing to experiment on myself, I may have gone my whole life thinking I was just a broken person. I feel bad for the general population that is trudging through life on a daily basis with such a simple (potential) solution within reach.

    It's important to note that I my blood was drawn on Feb 28th, so it had only been at most 3.5 weeks since I started my 6000IU/day regimen.

    As a side note, I was doing some reading and it's recommended that high doses of Vitamin D go hand in hand with Vitamin K, ( source 1 ), ( source 2 ) so as soon as I run out of my current supply of plain Vitamin D3, I think I'll be switching to Life Extension's Vitamin D and K.

    Thanks again for your post!
