Vitamin D Target Levels

[DeStrider]

Key takeaways:

1. Based on paper provided by the Mayo we should target 50 ng/ml but levels below 100 Ng/ml are fine and non-toxic.
2. Toxicity occurs above 50,000 IUs daily dosing
3. Levels below 30 ng/ml are deficient and sub optimal for health
4. Levels between 50-100 don’t provide excess benefit

I take 5000 IUs daily and have only reached 30 ng/ml. I am upping my dosage to 10,000 IUs daily to get to 50.

I Took 10,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 Supplement Every Day for 6 Months !!

Dr. Berg weighs in and agrees to 10,000 IUs which is 250 mcg or 0.25 mg daily.

Since the Mayo clinic agrees, I’m OK with this dosage.
