UK vit D sufficiency threshold set too low, say experts The UK s current threshold for vitamin D sufficiency (25 nmol/L 25(OH)D) is not supported by evidence and a higher threshold of 50 nmol/L, achievable by supplementation with at least 800 IU per day should be urgently promoted, according to a new report.
The report, written by experts in the fields of infectious diseases, medicine, endocrinology and gastroenterology, argues that since vitamin D is widely sold in 1,000 IU capsules, and it is universally agreed that doses up to 4,000 IU per day are safe, then a recommendation of 800–1,000 IU per day (20–25 micrograms per day) for all adults should be urgently promoted.
