Well, 25-hydroxy vitamin D is the form of vitamin D that circulates in our blood, and there are about 15 studies now of humans that suggest the people who have high levels of vitamin D in the blood have lower risk of cancer, although there are clinical trials that suggest that just taking oral vitamin D in the typical dose, 400 international units, has no effect on the incidence of cancer.
