Vitamin D and depression
For depression we need Vit D3 level near 50 ( higher than 30 recommended) and no toxicity seen at this level.
1. Keeping around 50 is not a problem. Levels above a 100 can result in toxicity symptoms (Hypervitaminosis) 2. If levels are bing monitored there is not an issue as long as levels are kept normal (less than 50-60 in most labs) 3. For depression, levels need to be kept normal (between 30-60). There is not evidence that pushing higher wil give better results MOST IMPORTANT TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Use Vitamin D only if there is a documented deficiency by checking levels!! Don’t just use it without any evidence of deficiency
