Deficient! Take your Vitamin D!

I had to go to the doctor to get blood tests; thyroid and iron. Well why waste time; I asked for a Vitamin D blood test. During the summer .I made sure my skin was exposed to the sun (sans sunblock, mind you) for at least a half hour on sunny day. Did that help? I was going to find out!

According to the lab results, my levels read 29.. HUH!!!!   Not low in my doctor's eyes. Do I ever listen to my doctor? Well, once and that literally saved my life. (another time, another entry.) 


Quest Labs was the lab.  Dr. Mercola stated that if Quest was used for the Vitamin D test; divide the results by 1.3. That substantially lowered my results to approximately 22.

Our levels should hover between 50-65 ng/ml.

I am now taking 2 Carlson softgels 4000IU per capsule a day. The next test is in January ~~~~~~ I am aiming  for 75 ng/ml.
