Barbara, Your right, Mary Jo asked about D3....and the thread went off in another direction. I think I will start up a new thread on the other topic.
But back to D3 I know I went to an Endocrinologist and he tested me for my Vitamin D levels. When my results came back he said mine were GREAT! But I just requested my records from his office and I see he wasn't being up-front with me like ALL my doctors seem to be.
Optimal levels the way I read this for both D3 & D2 is 30 and above. I told my Endo I hoped to be on the upper end and he said I was. But now that I have my records I see I BARELY made it. My D3 is "29" and my D2 is 4. So I'm NOT real happy with what he told me. Hope that helps.
