My Vitamin D update- What's yours?

What level of Vitamin D, 25- Hydroxy do people shoot for?

I am now at 53.0 ng/mL 30.0-100.0 at 6000 ius a day. Before supplementing I was at 21.

Thanks.

I'm going to aim for just 75-100 for now. If I see any promising evidence about going beyond 100 it could sway me. But right now it seems that getting to just 75 is associated with strong positive benefits compared to being so dismally low like I was and many others.

For what its worth, my doctor who recommends and uses vitamin D said he wasnt concerned if my vitamin D went over 100. He might have mentioned there are no known toxicity cases of it, or something along these lines... basically I wasnt going to put myself in any acute danger if I went over 100.

Now if I went over 200... then maybe but once I got to 90's I cut my dose to 5k IU daily. I have yet to get follow up bloods for that, but I will in a few months probably.

life extension foundation recommends an optimal range of 50-80 ng/ml (Life Extension Magazine May 2012).

apparently, a recent study by the american heart association found "Those whose 25-hydroxyvitamin D level exceeded 100 ng/mL had an atrial fibrillation incidence 2.5 times greater than people in the safe ranges (below 100 ng/mL)."

lots of good info at lef.org.
