Using the Institute of Medicine guideline for adequate serum vitamin D levels (>50 nmol/L), 61% of women and 42% of children had lower-than-desirable 25(OH)D levels. Considering the Osteoporosis Canada guidelines, 88% of women and 81% of children had lower-than-desirable 25(OH)D ...
However this is not typically the case, and here’s why: When you’re exposed to the sun, the UVB rays cause vitamin D to be produced in your skin while theUVA rays in the sunlight will tend to destroy excessive levels of vitamin D circulating in your body. It is somewhat of a natu...
For this reason, I don’t include a vitamin B12 levels chart on this page. Basically, all of the charts I’ve seen show very low vitamin B12 levels as normal. Perhaps in time charts will reliably show healthy vitamin B12 levels. That could, however, interfere with sales of certain prescr...
It is amazing to look at the chart and see how far below normal that sulfur is. Sulfur is also a natural antagonist (removes if from the body) of copper and alumminum, two culprits identified as being elevated in Alzheimer’s. I have since found a paper that says that vitamin D ...

Follow up labs in this patient indicated an improvement in vitamin D up to 29 ng/mL with ongoing supplementation continuing.

Vitamin D Deficiency Is Common And Declines Further Over 72 h In Infants With Hypoxic–Ischemic Injury Median serum 25(OH)D levels were not significantly different between normothermic (17.5 ng/ml; IQR 7.5, 21.3 ng/ml) and hypothermic HIE infants (16.8 ng/ml; IQR 9.4, 20....
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, typically defined by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of <30 nmol/L and <50 nmol/L respectively [8], have high prevalence rates—40% in Europe, 24% in the United States, and 37% in Canada [9]. A recent meta-analysis of observational...
1 liter of vitamin D fortified formula or fortified cow’s milk should provide enough vitamin D to meet the infants’ needs[16]. Foods High in Vitamin D Vitamin D can be mainly found in oily fish and liver and in smaller amounts in meat and dairy. In the US, Canada and some other ...
This was okay as long as you’re simply trying to prevent rickets of serum 25(OH)D at 20ng/ml or lower. I have written about this many times. Vitamin D2 at the levels within serum normal is significantly more toxic to the human body than vitamin D3. The problem was brought to ...
