Dr. Holick:
Now the normal range for the 25-hydroxy vitamin D is 30 to 100, but you could easily go even up to 150 because we see lifeguards that are outside all the time, making lots of vitamin D. They are at 125 nanograms per milliliter. They are not vitamin D toxic. So vitamin D is relatively safe, but you do have to be careful, and you don’t want to overdose on vitamin D.
