jangle Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My Vitamin D level was 35, but that's the 25 D3 Vitamin D level, I'm going back to get my 1,25 Vitamin D3 level tested as that was what was deficient in the case study I posted.

DoozlyGirl Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 jangle,What's the difference in the two levels you mention above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well in most circumstances the 25 D3 level is an accurate representation of the vitamin D levels in the body. However, researchers up in the NY medical schools found a patient with a defect in 1-alphahydroxylasehttp://www.mindcull....upplementation/1-alpha hydroxylase is an enzyme in the kidney that converts 25 D3 vitamin D to 1,25 D3 Vitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol is what your body uses, the other vitamin D, the 25 D3 level is termed pre-vitamin D.EDIT: And now I'm waiting for my calcitriol levels to be reported.
