Abstract
There is a continued debate and exchange of knowledge with respect to serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) cut-off levels. Based on our current knowledge it is time to reconsider our recommendations of the optimal level of serum 25(OH)D in the clinical setting and not only focus on low levels but also recommend an upper serum limit of around 125 nmol/L (40–50 ng/mL) among healthy and diseased.
