A member asked:
My result (vitamin d - 25 hydroxy) was deficient 18.9 ng/ml. having lots of aches and lethargy. what would be the appropriate amount to start taking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
D3 level: Yes, that's very low. We don't diagnose or treat on this part of HT so can't give you a dosage. Vitamin D experts suggest a D level between 50 and 80 for optimal benefit. Conventional labs start w/a reference range of 30. Please ask your doctor and continue to have lab testing until optimal. Peace and good health.
