I believe the optimal blood level of 25 (OH) vitamin D to be in the range of 50-100 ng/ml (125-250 nmol/L).

Based upon my extensive clinical experience, I recommend vitamin D3 in a daily dose of 2000-6000 I.U. (50-150 microgram) for most of my patients. I aim for an optimal blood level of 25 (OH) vitamin D in the range of 50-100 ng/ml (125-250 nmol/L). I check 25 (OH) vitamin D and calcium blood level in my patients every three months to ensure they achi

Therefore, I check 25 (OH) vitamin D blood level every 3 months and adjust the dose of vitamin D accordingly. My aim is to achieve and maintain a level of 25 (OH) vitamin D in the range of 50-100 ng/ml (125-250 nmol/L). I also check blood calcium to make sure that a person doesn’t develop vitamin D toxicity.

the beneficial blood level of 25 (OH) vitamin D starts at 30 ng/ml (or 75 nmol/L) and these levels of vitamin D can not be achieved in most patients with the current recommended dose of vitamin D (1).

If your 25(OH) Vitamin D level is higher than 100 ng/ml (250 nmol/L) or your blood calcium gets elevated, then you should reduce your dose of vitamin D. However, please note that you are still way below the potentially toxic level of 200 ng/ml (500 nmol/L).

If you have high blood calcium, high PTH level and your 24 hours urine calcium is more than 300 mg, you are at high risk for calcium stone formation in the kidneys. You may consider parathyroid surgery even if you don’t yet have kidney stones.
