Vitamin D (25-OH) on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
Vitamin D (25-OH) is the storage form measured in blood. It matters for bone, mood, immune function and testosterone production in men not on TRT.
The range
How to read the lab range
Labs call 20 to 30 ng/mL (50 to 75 nmol/L) sufficient; 40 to 60 ng/mL (100 to 150 nmol/L) is commonly quoted as a target. Above 100 ng/mL is more than anyone needs.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Indoor life, winter, darker skin.
- Body fat stores it away.
- Very low fat diets cut absorption.
