The consensus is that levels of 25(OH)D below 25nmol/L indicate 'deficiency'. Some have argued that this level is conservative. Raising the definition of "deficiency" or "sufficiency" to higher levels is inappropriate until results from randomised trials can show that maintaining such levels has clear health benefits and no health risks.

^{The major circulating form of vitamin D is 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D); thus, the total serum 25(OH)D level is currently considered the best indicator of vitamin D supply} ^{Normal Results. The normal range of 25-hydroxy vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Many experts recommend a level between 20 and 40 ng/mL. Others recommend a level between 30 and 50 ng/mL. The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.}

The Endocrine Society, the National and International Osteoporosis Foundation, and the American Geriatric Society define vitamin D deficiency as the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin (25 OH D) of less than 30 ng/mL. The Endocrine Society recommends a preferred range of 40 to 60 ng/mL.

The FDA developed DVs to help consumers compare the nutrient contents of foods and dietary supplements within the context of a total diet. The DV for vitamin D is 20 mcg (800 IU) for adults and children age 4 years and older [ ].

What to expect. The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test involves providing a blood sample. To take a blood sample, a healthcare provider will first clean the skin on the person's arm. Then they will draw

^{Vitamin D tests, which include immunoassays and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry LC/MS/MS, measure the level of 25(OH)D, the main form of circulating vitamin D. Optimal levels Vitamin D levels of 30 to 100 ng/mL are considered optimal.}

An intake of no less than 1000 IU (25 mcg) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per day for all adults may bring at least 50% of the population up to 75 nmol/l. Thus, higher doses of vitamin D are needed to bring most individuals into the desired range.

The normal range of 25-hydroxy vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Many experts recommend a level between 20 and 40 ng/mL. Others recommend a level between 30 and 50 ng/mL. The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests.

At that time, their experts concluded: "Based on all the evidence, at a minimum, we recommend vitamin D levels of 30 ng/mL, and because of the vagaries of some of the assays, to guarantee sufficiency, we recommend between 40 and 60 ng/mL for both children and adults."
