  Hi Daniel & B.

  My last vitamin D check was May 12th.

  It was 96nmol/l. However, I noticed your handout measures in a different unit. I just want to check that I haven’t overdone on my intake as I’ve been taking 6000iu daily to this day.

  Hey ,

  In this case the conversion is really easy. If you want to go from nmol/l to ng/mL, you just divide through 2.5.

  96 nmol/l is 38.4 ng/mL of serum vitamin D.

  How long have you been on vitamin D supplementation?

  Hi Daniel,

  Since March I think, but I have been using Thorne vitamin d/k2 since May.

  I drop 6 drops in millet flakes porridge which contains 1 teaspoon coconut in the morning.

  Oh right, I am still very low right?

   If you were on vitamin D supplements for 3 months before you tested I would say that you are still on the low end. If not, retesting vitamin D might be an option.

  Thanks Daniel. My GP will not check and I ‘ll have to do it privately which I will probably do later in the year.
