Guest guest Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 You should supplement with Vitamin D3 especially in the winter. You could take 2000 iu. It's very good for many things, not least protecting you against cancer. From: stehendie <stehendie@...>thyroid treatment Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 6:53 PMSubject: Vit D result Hi guys so i got my Vit D result from the office, there were no ranges tho not even on the computer screen.Apart from the bottom range of 20 with my D3 being 21My D2 was 2.0Just wondering if anybody has any Vit D ranges with the bottom being 20 so that i could check. I am going to supplment D3 anyway with my result being so close to the bottom and it being winter.ThanksSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 21?? Holy moly, you need to supplement! Most ranges seem to be around the 75 mark for minimum with no upper limit. That's the range I've been given on the tests I've had. 21 is horribly low - I was having trouble when mine was 45! At that level my then endo suggested taking 60,000IU per week for 3 months - I suggest you do similar. My GP wouldn't prescribe that much and I got nowhere - so I put myself on around 50,000IU a week with strong supps and in 2 months got it up to 73. I used the Solgar one but if you go on ebay you can get stronger - I'm now on 5,000IU capsules (two a day with it being winter, will be on one a day in summer), but you can also get 50,000IU capsules on there. I would go high level with this - 21 really is very, very low. Niki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Niki, mine was 21 with the BOTTOM of my range being 20 not 75 No idea why it would be so different tho. But there was no upper ref range either. So i was just above range by one but it would be nice to know the upper range if its 25 then not so bad, if it was 100 then im miles away! I've started taking 4000ui 4x the tablets i have for now. Steve > > 21?? Holy moly, you need to supplement! > > Most ranges seem to be around the 75 mark for minimum with no upper limit.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Please check which Vitamin D test was used and the reference ranges. There are two vitamin D tests -- 1,25(OH)D and 25(OH)D.
