Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report that higher levels of vitamin D, specifically serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D are associated with a correspondingly reduced risk of cancer.

Recommended blood serum levels of vitamin D have been a source of vigorous debate in recent years. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that levels lower than 12 ng/ml represented a vitamin D deficiency. This most recent study recommends to increase 25(OH)D concentrations to a minimum of 40 ng/ml in the general population would likely and substantially reduce cancer incidence and associated mortality.
My own professional opinion is to maintain a levels in the 50 to 70 ng/ml. How do you know how much your body needs? Get tested. Our office has cash pricing with Lab Corp. Call my office 480-951-5006 or click the button below to schedule a consultation.
