Guest guest Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 When I was tested a few years ago, my D25 hydroxy level was 29.0 The normal range is 32-100 ng/ML. I was put on 50,000 units of D, three times a week until my levels came back up. Once they got to a reading of 88 I have been on 50,000 units of D, once per week, PLUS 1200 units daily of D PLUS, whatever D that I get from my normal diet and getting out in the sun in Florida. I was also told to take 1000 units of B-12 three times a week to help maintain my D levels. My levels of D, and other things, are checked twice a year now. I can't actually say that I had experienced any specific health problem when I had low D levels. Ron > > Has anyone else had their D25(OH) levels tested?
