The average vitamin D level was 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L), with 45% below 20 ng/ml and 20% below 10 ng/ml (25 nmol/L).
Help Prevent Vitamin D Deficiency!
Projects like this make it very clear that vitamin D deficiency is still a MAJOR PROBLEM! With vitamin D being the “Sunshine Vitamin,” and winter coming to an end, vitamin D deficiency is likely at its worst. Be sure to measure vitamin D levels now and correct existing deficiency immediately. A panel of 48 international vitamin D researchers and scientists recommend a vitamin D level between 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L), yet only 2% of this group had a level within that range. Enrolling into the D*action project gives everyone a chance to measure their vitamin D levels from home while contributing to life-changing research.
Vitamin D is just one of the MANY health benefits provided by sunshine exposure. Learn more here.
