1. The problems

    First, Medicare and most insurance plans do not cover 25(OH)D tests, so how can anyone know where they stand?

    Second, the idea that fish or other foods contain enough vitamin D to make a real difference is ridiculous. There are 2 effective ways of boosting 25(OH)D: sun and supplements.

    Third, why can't you list 25(OH)D levels necessary for efficacy? Hint, one needs to achieve 25(OH)D > 40ng/mL for best results. This will very likely require a lot of sun or supplementation of 4000 IU/day or more.

    You could have said these things. But there is so much misinformation from the medical community on vitamin D that it isn't too surprising that you didn't.
