Almost everyone is too low. Everyone should have the D levels tested.

I just found this gem from the Alaska Legislature 2015. Rep. Paul Seaton chairs a vitamin D discussion. Natives used to dry Salmon under the sun, greatly increasing vitamin D. Now their vitamin D levels are way down, since most eat a western diet in addition to no longer using this traditional drying technique.
The vitamin D discussion is on overcoming Rickets, which only requires 20 ng/ml blood levels, whereas immune health (as for Covid) requires 50 ng/ml.

Higher Levels of Vitamin D Reduce Breast Cancer Risk by 80%: Study
TORONTO, Ont (June 21, 2018) – A study of 5,038 women (age 55+) in a pooled cohort of two randomized controlled trials and a prospective cohort has found that women with vitamin D blood levels of ≥150 nmol/L [≥60 ng/ml – ed.], which is over three times the level recommended by Health Canada for bone health (50 nmol/L), have an 80% lower risk of breast cancer. The study was published June 15th in the peer reviewed open access scientific journal PLOS ONE from researchers at the University of California San Diego, Creighton University, Medical University of South Carolina and GrassrootsHealth a U.S based nonprofit. The study concluded “Higher 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with a dose-response decrease in breast cancer risk with concentrations ≥150 nmol/L [≥60 ng/ml – ed.] being most protective.”

“Vitamin D is actually a hormone that should be called the immunity vitamin.”
“The dermatologists won. They made us afraid of the sun.”
~”Everyone should know their vitamin D levels.” “Optimum is level is somewhere between 50 and 100.”
Clear explanations! Only problem is they warn against taking more than 5,000.
“Most labs say that 30-100 ng/ml is normal.”
60-80 ng/ml is optimal

0:05:53 Vitamins are considered by both clinicians and patients as optional. Most people seem to believe that if they eat a balanced diet and have a good lifestyle, that that’s all they need to do. But as soon you start studying the deficiencies states, you realize you can’t eat your way to a normal Vitamin D level. And for the vast majority of people, you’re not gonna be able to get it throughout the year, trying to get it from the sun.

Only 3% of black and Hispanic women have healthy D levels; only 19% of whites > 40 ng/ml! 50 ng/ml is safe from Covid, and 80-100 ng/ml is ideal.

The chart below shows vitamin D serum levels in US women of childbearing age (18-45 years), by race/ethnicity, based on data from NHANES 2009-2010. 87% of the population had levels BELOW the 40 ng/ml recommended for a healthy pregnancy.
RDA was miscalculated – should be 7,000 IU, not 400 IU
Linda Benskin: In addition, there’s a statistical error that’s been pointed out by two different statisticians and confirmed by a third that says that the amount of the US RDA is off by a factor of close to 10. It’s not just a decimal error movement, it’s a more complicated statistical error than that. But the US RDA should probably be closer to 7000 international units rather than 400 to 800 international units.

Proof! The data:
Being able to tan in winter in some areas far away from the equator doesn’t mean we’re getting vitamin D. They’re not directly related. Tanning rays (UVA) more easily pass through the atmosphere. UVA rays can also pass through glass, but not UVB.
High altitude decreases the atmosphere (ozone, etc), which could allow vitamin D producing rays (UVB) to get through in winter far from the equator, if high enough and not too far north or south.

A COOL TOOL: THE VITAMIN D/UV CALCULATOR
Scientists at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research have devised a calculator that will take all those factors into consideration and estimate how many minutes of exposure you need for your skin to produce 25 mcg (the equivalent of 1,000 International Units) of vitamin D.

Daily oral dosing of vitamin D3 using 5000 TO 50,000 international units a day in long-term hospitalized patients: Insights from a seven year experience
Highlights
• Daily dosing with vitamin D ranged from 5000 IU/day to 50,000 IU/day.
• No cases of hypercalcemia observed using these doses of vitamin D for up to 7 years.
