I am a 39 year old female and I recently had a 25-hydroxyvitam d total of 80 ng/ml. I had the same test done in November of 2006 and the results were 113 ng/ml. The doctor said it was the highest he had ever seen in Maine, but he did not tell me what this could mean. I have lived in Maine my whole life and get average sun exposure and I do not take a vitamin d supplement. What can account for the difference in the numbers and does this high level mean something is wrong?
See this link for information on vitamin D. It covers both deficiency of vitamin D and toxicity of vitamin D. As usual, consult your doctor if you are reading this thread about your own need for vitamin D and what amount of supplementation is wise or unwise for you in your particular circumstances.
