Actually it's the Linus Pauling Institute that says our D should be at least 80. I think the ASMBS says something like 40 is OK, but research actually shows that's much too low.

Oops, my mistake. You are correct. I recently read through the entire ASMBS article on nutritional guidelines (in several sittings, LOL... It is VERY dry reading!) so that was in my mind. When my D was coming up so slowly (from an initial value of 9!) even when it got to 50-something, my surgeon said it should still be much higher (and she tended to go with the "normal" lab ranges for most things. She wanted our Vit D and B12 much higher than the reference ranges.
