    This document compares standard medical model ranges for vitamin D blood levels to functional ranges. [1] The standard model considers levels below 25 nmol/L as deficient and levels above 50 nmol/L as sufficient, while the functional model suggests optimal levels are 125-200 nmol/L. [2] The functional model associates various symptoms with deficiency at different levels, while the standard considers levels above 25 nmol/L asymptomatic. [3] A table then provides recommended vitamin D intake amounts to achieve different target blood levels.

    Blood levels nmol/L Related symptoms / health concerns Blood levels nmol/L Related symptoms / health concerns
    0 0 Always symtomatic - severity and awareness varies
    Pain: Broad areas of muscle pain & stiffness - non specific low back pain,
    Severely Deficient Bone health / Rickets Severely Deficient dull constant ache.
    Fatigue: Moderate / severe
    Mood & behaviour: Depression, SAD, no motivation
    25 25 Usually symtomatic - often more subtle - severity and awareness varies
    Pain: Low grade aches and pain - non-specific hypersensitivity lowers
    Deficient Bone health Deficient pain threshold = Regional neuromechanical presentation
    Fatigue: Mild / moderate
    Mood & behaviour: Depression - mild / moderate
    50 50
    Bone health: 65% more calcium absorption at 85 nmol/L versus 50 nmol/L
    Insufficient Not usually symptomatic unless they have a genetic defect in the
    vitamin D receptor (VDR) or are magnesium deficient.
    85
    Normal / Sufficient None 125
    Mimics endogenous production with consistent sun exposure.
    Optimal Epidemiological studies and some RCT’s suggest a significant
    drop in cancers, MS, strokes & heart attacks, and an overall
    200 improvement in immune health.
