Reply to comment by MrsWilson78 in Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow up period, researchers found that the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest effects seen among those with severe deficiencies. by Wagamaga

Thanks for the info.

I guess what I am saying is I can drink 6-8 glasses of water per day and know that I am hydrating correctly. I don’t need to get a test to see if I am hydrated.

Is there a rule of thumb like that for vitamin D?

Edit: I don’t want to spend $125-$175 to find out I am as fine as I feel.

What’s the required amount of vitamin D? If you took a walk outside for 30 minutes a day would you possibly be deficient? I live in the Northeast and people complain about how gloomy it is for half the year, but I still go outside in the winter to do things that are fun into do chores like walk, the dog and such.

I I don’t wanna go get tested because it would probably cost me unnecessary dollars.
