Before I knew what I was sick with I was in the sun ALL the time yet my 25D level was a 7... VERY low because my body was rapidly converting it to 1,25D
Many who have inflammatory disease (like myself) cannot even handle the sun, I get severely ill. Before my illness I used to be a sun worshiper and now I cannot even handle heat at all. I think there is a lot of controversy surrounding Vit D and no one REALLY knows the real story. If your 25D is low and you start supplementing without looking at the 1,25D you could become D toxic REAL fast if that 1,25 D was elevated.
Do you ever think that the reason for D deficiency is so high in many is because they actually have to much of the active 1,25D running rampant in their bodies which is the RESULT of an inflammatory response to a pathogen?? If both metabolites are checked you will see that the 25D is low but the 1,25D is severely high causing D toxicity and not actually a deficency? Both need to be looked at when doing bloodwork. Most doctors ONLY look at the 25D which is only there from supplementation.
