Evaluation: Typically would like your 25-OH Vitamin D3 level up around 50. Ask you OB about possibly doubling your dose. As a vegetarian you also need to have your Vitamin B12 levels checks. Lower quartile levels might indicate need to supplement with injections or sublingual forms of B12. Adequate folate (folic acid) levels also need consideration. Malabsorption is one issue. Methylation defect can be another.
