Does anyone know how to read vitamin D blood test results?

Just that really. My level is 57.3 and having googled, I'm finding the info confusing. Does anyone have clear info?

I know nothing medically. However, when I had mine tested, mine was 6. The dr told me there is a sliding scale depending on age bracket but I don't know the ins and outs, only that i felt pretty lousy.

Yep mine's been really low before now and had to be prescription treated, hence me having it tested regularly. I do take an over the counter supplement and am hoping that's what's doing the trick

I'd need a unit of measurement as there are two, nmol/L and ng/mL for the former 50 is lowest end of normal and the latter it's the highest end.

I recently had a test done by the NHS (online order), and the generic notes on my results said that a vitamin D level over 50 nmol/L is “adequate”, i.e. OK.
That said, I’m aware that the optimum level differs depending on factors such as weight, age and skin type.
You might want to try the app called “dminder” (with a yellow sun logo). It’s free and it allows you to input your details and location and what supplements (if any) you take, and then gives you an idea of your optimum level of vitamin D. You can then use the app to track when you take supplements etc. and it estimates your current level. I’ve found it really useful.

Thanks for the replies. Result was given over the phone so I don't have the unit of measurement unfortunately. It was a blood test done at gp surgery so not sure which they'd use

My DH recently had a vitD blood test and the nurse told him that they like people to be at 75, very low is 25 and he was 34. So low but not dangerously so.
That was a GP based blood test so the measurements might be the same as your surgery use.

If it’s UK the measurement should be nmol/L rather than ng/ml.

Yes it's UK
