The problem with lab ranges is that they are just arbitrary.
They are numerical ranges taken from "normal" people and averaged. If the pool used to take the range figures has low people in it....well, you get the idea. I think this is how the B12 range got so low to begin with.
The controls are chosen, who "appear" to be healthy. So if our knowledge base is lacking for that item being tested, then the range may show a low figure for normal which is NOT normal.
The Vit D information is sooooo new... I still am a bit skeptical of the high doses some people are using.
A friend of mine is taking 10,000 IUs a day. I cannot bring myself to do that or recommend it. This winter I used 4000 IUs and now am just starting back off that since I am outside more.
I would like some time to pass on the Vit D really high doses. I would like to see no negative trade offs with it.
