A standard blood chemistry panel will provide your doctor with your levels of vitamin D3. The test is called 25(OH)D. The existing guidelines state that a deficiency is anything below 50nmol/l, but recent studies show that 80 nmol/l is needed to keep healthy bones and enable vitamin D to perform its other roles in the body. Mercury contamination can cause malabsorption of nutrients among other things.
Vitamin D deficiency could cause include heart disease, chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, hypertension, arthritis, depression, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, PMS, Crohns Disease, cancer, MS and other autoimmune diseases.
Mine was 13nmol, I was in bad shape a few months ago. I couldn't even walk. I was given 50,000 IU a week of D3. In a matter of days my health improved greatly. The funny thing is I work outside, exsposure to plenty of sunlight, and I wasn't absorbing it!
