What vitamin D level should you aim for?
Use evidence-based ranges and your personal risk profile rather than a single public opinion. The marker is serum 25(OH)D. For many people, ≥20 ng/mL is generally adequate, while <12 ng/mL increases deficiency risk. Avoid chasing very high levels; excessively high 25(OH)D is linked with potential adverse effects. Individualize targets with your clinician.
