Common questions
- What is a normal 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3 level?
- Optimal: 30 – 60 ng/mL. Adult reference range.
- What does a high 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3 mean?
- A value above the reference band means 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3 is outside the range typical for a healthy adult. A single reading is rarely conclusive on its own — what matters is the trend across draws and the other markers around it, which is why HealthOS reads the whole panel together rather than one number at a time.
- How do I improve my 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D3?
- Sensible sun exposure and supplementation (often 1,000–2,000 IU/day) with vitamin K2 and magnesium.
