the usual "reference range" (or normal range) for vitamin d levels in the blood is 30 to 74 nanograms per milliliter. so while your result falls within the normal range it is toward the low end. did your doctor advise you take a vitamin d supplement (or to take calcium with vitamin d added)? if not then he or she must feel you have nothing to be concerned about. however if you've been told you have osteoporosis or osteopenia then you might consider using a calcium supplement that contains vitamin d. vitamin d helps the body absorb the calcium better. if you'd like to get a bit more vitamin d in your system you can spend a little time in the sunshine every day (how pleasant! ) drink milk fortified with vitamin d or eat more saltwater fish (like cod) or liver. this article " are you getting enough vitamin d " might be helpful to you. if your doctor wasn't concerned enough to address your vitamin d results i wouldn't worry about it too much. hope this helps! your level of vitamin d is considered normal if it is between 30-100 according to my internist. so while yours is normal you may consider taking a regular over the counter vitamin d. mine was taken recently and my results were 17 very deficient. 20-30 is considered low. my doctor put me on 50 000 iu's once a week for 8 weeks and then 50 000 once every 2 weeks for another 8 weeks. i have been having a terrible time with my gums puffing up and bleeding ( i have always taken great care of my teeth and this is like a nightmare) chipping of several teeth without knowing it hurting all over my body and joints and losing hair like crazy along with many other symptoms. i'm 51 by the way. hope you find this somewhat helpful. any questions just let me know and i'll see if i can answer them.
