I recently had my vitamin d levels checked. I did all by myself since doctors around are not interested or don't seem to be informed about how a vitamin deficiency can lead to or affect disease. Anyway i went to the lab and was asked what type of vitamind d i wanted measured, since i didn't really know i said both.

I have the results in my hands:

Vit D 25 Hydroxy 20.3 ng/ml (normal range 20-100)
Vit D 1,25 Dihydroxy 87.8 pg/ml (normal range 25.1-66.1)

So what is this supossed to mean. I was trying to understand it by myself and all i found is that vit d 1,25 Dihydroxy is the active form of the other. Isn't this contradictory, that one of them low and the other one is high?? How should i interpret this???


Also, do you think having 20.3 leves of vit d are reason enouhg to take supplementation and extra sun exposure...??

Thank you
