When the hematologist does my blood work each year, I am supplied with a chart that shows my values against the standard range. According to my chart of my bloodwork, the standard range for Vitamin D 25-OH is between 30-100 ng/ml.
I was a little low in vitamin D levels in 2018 as you can see by my results below. In 2018 my levels were 22 ng/mL. I was told to take 4,000 units of D3 a day with a meal. My levels came up to 42.7 the next year and 60 this past year. I did make an effort to get some daily sunshine in 2020 which is why it may have come up to 60.
8/1/18 22 ng/mL
7/31/19 42.7 ng/mL
7/29/20 60 ng/mL
Standard Range Vitamin D 25-OH is 30 - 100 ng/mL
I googled it to see what Mr. Google would say about it and this is what I found:

The most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body is the 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test. A level of 20 nanograms/milliliter to 50 ng/mL is considered adequate for healthy people. A level less than 12 ng/mL indicates vitamin D deficiency.
