Vitamin D Report Summary:
Vitamin D2: 1.44 ng/mL (very low)
Vitamin D3: 22.5 ng/mL
Total Vitamin D: 22.5 ng/mL
📌 Interpretation (Harrison’s Reference):
Vitamin D sufficiency: >30 ng/mL
Insufficiency: 20–30 ng/mL
Deficiency: <20 ng/mL
Your level of 22.5 ng/mL = Insufficient, borderline low
🟢 Recommended Correction Plan:
✅ Step 1: Oral Supplementation
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 60,000 IU once weekly for 6–8 weeks
Then switch to maintenance dose: 1000–2000 IU daily
Take with meals (fatty foods improve absorption)
✅ Step 2: Lifestyle Modifications
Sunlight exposure: 15–20 minutes/day (preferably 10 AM–2 PM)
Include Vitamin D-rich foods:
Fortified milk, yogurt
Eggs, mushrooms
Ghee, butter
✅ Step 3: Recheck Levels
Repeat 25(OH)D test after 3 months
