This is one that it is important to have your levels checked. Many people are not taking enough and could take more. Most unknowledgeable practitioners are content to see a 30 ng/ml of 25-OH D on a test. Keep in mind, when someone is challenged either by surgery, severe injury, or illness, those levels can be cut in half within 24 hours. That means if someone is at 30-40 level they will become technically deficient in a day. Therefore, levels should be as high as possible at around 80-90 ng/ml or even 100. Hitting toxic levels is very hard and rare. When someone is challenged, it is safe to take 50K IU a day for a week just to keep levels up. It helps the immune system and with tissue healing because the stores in the body will be utilized and can become depleted.
