Mine checks it because I asked him to but also agreed to check anything else that I wanted in the next blood test. That along with bulk billing me has warmed our relationship.
He thought my 69ng/mL was too high because he sees 20 - 50ng/mL as the normal range. I hope he looks at the more recent studies to confirm that his 800iu D3 daily and 35ng/mL as being ideal are desperately low.
Everything that I have seen based on recent studies suggests that 50 - 90ng/mL is where we need to be and that the body tends to self limit at 90ng/mL, with 120ng/mL being the level where toxicity problems start to emerge.
To maintain that I take 5,000iu D3 daily in the winter and every other day in the summer, with 100mcg for every 5,000iu D3.
