We hardly see the sun in the winter and we need to be protected with the extra supplement. Thank you.

Vitamin D is needed by every cell for metabolism and maintenance. The level in the serum must be enough to provide enough 25OH Vitamin D for every cell for proper growth and development. The documented best level is at least 40 ng/mL. Please reconsider your first decision and re-evaluate the vitamin D guidelines.

Vitamin D deficiency is so prevalent that the CMA is encouraging physicians not to order tests to test for deficiency anymore. Obviously this is a prevalent problem and guidelines need to be changed.
