Title: Post your Vitamin D levels
Post by: Duke on February 16, 2012, 11:43:51 pm
What are your vitamin d levels according to your latest blood test? What is the optimal range for a person?

I am going to test mine next week.

I believe the optimal level is around 50 nanograms per milliliter.

Okay, i will check my levels against 50.

Anyone of you guys willing to share their vit d test results after being on so and so years on Rpd? Please also suggest whether you supplement or get lots of sun exposure ESP if ur d levels are optimal.

Once I tested as high as 93. It actually wasn't optimal, the symptoms that vit D controls actually start to come back again at levels that high.  I was taking about 5-10,000 IU daily, and eating almost zero-carb. It's the zero-carb that does it...I can eat twice that much vit D daily if I'm eating high carb, and it has much less effect.

What are those symptoms that reemerge at high vitamin d levels, cherimoya_kid? I thought 90 levels were therapeutic levels against degenerative diseases....
