FAQs on Vitamin D Q: How do you measure vitamin D? What is considered deficient? A: Body stores of vitamin D are measured by blood levels of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)-vitamin D). Levels over 30ng/ml are considered sufficient (but may require maintenance doses of vitamin D to sustain these levels); 15-30ng/ml are considered insufficient (and require supplementation); and under 15ng/m
