Circulating 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels Indicative of Vitamin D Sufficiency: Implications for Establishing a New Effective Dietary Intake Recommendation for Vitamin D
TL;DR: It has been more than 3 decades since the first assay assessing circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D in human subjects was performed and led to the definition of "normal" nutritional vitamin D status, i.e., vitamin D sufficiency, and current dietary recommendations for adults are not sufficient to maintain circulating 25(OH)D levels at or above this level, especially in pregnancy and lactation.
