Even before getting the recommended 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D test, it's a good idea to supplement, especially if you live in an area where it's difficult to get out in the sun frequently and/or you are older. Coupled with other metabolic health deficiencies, having a low level of vitamin D appears very risky. I'm taking 5,000 IUs when I'm able to get out in the sun and 10,000 when I'm not. Better safe than . . . . . . .
For those concerned with taking too much D, here's an excellent video by Dr. Mahtani:

good points.
When my son was tested I was told he was fine at 28. Thanks to digging into that vitamin for myself and finding Z's thread, I put the whole family on a much higher dosing than recommended.
We are staying at 10,000 units a day given the covid 19 outbreak, and the reasonable assumption it is here to stay.
Im cooking more tgan ever to reduce the starches tgen teens eat. They want a quick, ready to eat meal, so bread, oatmeal, and the like is their go to. Im trying to have lower carb meals available. Mistly meats as they currently are not into veggies. sigh.
