Adequate: 30 to 50 ng/mL (75 to 125 nmol/L)
Optimal: 50 to 80 ng/mL (125 to 200 nmol/L)
- High Vitamin D Levels (Vitamin D Toxicity): Excessively high levels of vitamin D (typically above 150 ng/mL or 375 nmol/L) can lead to vitamin D toxicity, which can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, and calcium buildup in the blood, potentially leading to kidney stones or kidney damage.

- Bone Health: Weakness, bone pain, and an increased risk of fractures.
- Immune Function: Increased susceptibility to infections.
- Mood: Depression or mood swings.
- Muscle Weakness: Muscle aches and weakness.
- Fatigue: General fatigue and weakness.
- Other Health Conditions: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various health issues, including osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune diseases.
What to do if vitamin D levels are elevated or decreased:
Treatment for Deficiency: vitamin D supplements.
Treatment for Toxicity: If you have vitamin D toxicity, your healthcare provider may recommend discontinuing vitamin D supplements, reducing dietary sources of vitamin D, and managing any related symptoms or complications.
Lifestyle and Dietary Changes: In addition to supplements, getting sufficient sunlight exposure and maintaining a diet rich in vitamin D sources (such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and fortified cereals) can help regulate vitamin D levels
