RE: Great facts you need to know about vitamins and their benefits; dual-functionality of vitamin D... Part 2

in #science7 years ago

I had hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium) and a weakened immune system due to Vitamin D deficiency. However, my Vitamin D level was not low enough to be flagged using the standard reference range. Additional Vitamin D supplementation cured these. The lower end of the reference range definitely needs to be raised.

Sort:  

If that's the case, age range determines whether additional vitamin D supplement would be needed as opposed the reference range.

The British Medical Journal's Thorax journal had an editorial in 2015 recommending that the lower range be increased by 10 points. The British are also considering fortifying food with Vitamin D.
