Okay, so the numbers aren't consistent. They're not even close. That and a lot of anecdotal evidence. I find it hard to take Vitamin D deficiency seriously. I am anecdotally not depressed about it.
- calibas 4y agoMaybe I'm misunderstanding your comment? You're comparing Vitamin D deficiency (< 50 nmol/L or 20 ng/ml) with severe Vitamin D deficiency (<30 nmol/L or 12 ng/ml) and saying the numbers aren't consistent?
