I found it interesting that my bloodwork in 2018 with D over 50 was flagged high. Bloodwork in 2022 with D at 90 was not flagged at all. (Both times done at Mayo JAX).

I remember reading somewhere that lab test results were compared more to “norms” rather than to recommendations. I wish I had saved a link, as I have no idea where I read that. Could it be that in 2018, a D level of 50 was well above “normal”, but higher levels are now more common after 4 years of hearing “C, D, and Zinc” (even from the Evil Elf himself back in spring 2020, when asked what supplements he personally was taking to stay well; the question probably caught him by surprise and he was startled into a truthful answer). IDK, just a thought…

It's true. "Normal" ranges were established by looking at population numbers.
