Recommendations for vitamin D supplementation depend on age, weight, complexion, diet, lifestyle and health status. In order to precisely select the necessary dose of vitamin D, it would be necessary to assess its level in the body. For this purpose, the blood concentration of its metabolite: 25-hydroxyvitamin D is tested. The optimal level of this compound should be between 30-50 ng/ml.

In pharmacies, you can get a rapid test designed to self-determine the level of vitamin D in a blood sample taken from a fingertip, e.g.

If you are dealing with an underweight person, it is essential to take a test. Please note that people who are underweight (BMI < 18,5) mogą wymagać niższych dawek niż zalecane pacjentom z prawidłową masą ciała.
