[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 977414, member: 150927"] Please let me apologise - I managed to get myself confused with American measurements compared to , well, the rest of the world's in some of my comments above. I was just having a re-read of the info on Vitamin D, and noticed that Dr Mercola's table, functional medical pov from the US, the toxic levels are in fact the same as the recommendations as Sweden's. I didn't see the ng/ml thing, and read it as the same as nmol/. And that I was supposed to multiple the ng/ml by 2.5. Oops! So Mercola's target Vit D levels in the blood translated goes: insufficient is anything less than 125 nmol/L Optimal is 125-175 nmol/L For beating disease is 175-250 and toxic - 250 nmol/L and above. (If I used my calculator correctly!) And just a re-cap on the subarctic Sweden's official recommended levels: Insufficient is 25-74 nmol/L Optimal is Levels of 75-250[B] [/B] And over 250 is considered potentially toxic. Still taking my 6,000 iu a day though, in liquid form with vitamin K. Knowing I have a long way to go before reaching anything close to toxic levels. (Love those tests!) (But wish liquid Vitamin D wasn't so expensive!) [/QUOTE]
