The majority of the population is deficient in Vitamin D3 and they don’t even realize it. Due to the increasing use of sunscreens and less outdoor activities, we are not absorbing the necessary amounts of sun needed to adequately keep our Vitamin D3 stores.

Vitamin D3 deficiencies can directly influence our immune response and has been implicated as being a major factor of at least 17 varieties of cancer, heart disease, stroke, depression, chronic pain, and much more.

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that can become toxic if levels are too high.

• Levels between 60-100 ng/dl are ideal for optimal immune health.
• You are considered vitamin D3 deficient with levels below 30, and sub-optimal between 40-60.
• Vitamin D3 injections may be prescribed with levels lower than 40.
• For levels between 40-60 ng/dl, oral supplementation is typically enough to increase to optimal levels.

A current lab review done within the last six weeks is required to be prescribed Vitamin D3:

• If you have current labs - simply provide us a copy and schedule a consultation. Our medical support team will review the labs and prescribe if deemed necessary.
