My vitamin d oh is 28 which is low but my vitamin d 1,25 is 62 which is normal does that mean i'm not deficient or do i need to take supplement ?

Take supplement: Hi. Just because your 1,25-D is normal doesn't mean you don't need vitamin D supplements. My goal for 25-D is mid-30's or above, so in actuality, you're barely low. If you take 2,000 IU vit. D/day, you'd probably get your 25-D up to about 40. Not a bad idea, but honestly, I could predict a level of 28 would ever hurt you in any way. But why not get it a little higher? Good luck!
