The Deficiency Threshold
🙋 I bought vitamin D for my mood!
At the pharmacy
💊 What was your blood level?
🙋 22? Pretty normal I think!
💊 Studies show no mood change above 20
📋 Fact: In a meta-analysis of vitamin D for depression, people who started with blood levels below 20 ng/mL saw meaningful symptom improvement, but people who started above 20 saw almost no change in how they felt.
