Hi Monte: Your results were 69 correct?? Optimal D 25-Hydroxy is any number "greater than" 30 and under 100. If you look at what you typed you'll see that you say your lab claims: "Optimal levels are > (greater than) 30 ng/ml", and your score is 69.

I'm not sure if that answers your question, but 69 is a great Vit D reading. Some labs say that any number > (greater than) 50 is optimal, but evidently yours doesn't. In either case you are above both numbers which is fantastic. With Vit D they don't use just one number for optimal and here's an example from my lab.

Interpretive guidelines for Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy):
> (greater than)100 ng/ml = Potential toxicity
32-100 = Sufficiency
2-32 = Mild insufficiency
10-20 = Moderate insufficiency
7-10 = Marked insufficiency
< (less than) 7 = Deficiency

So my lab doesn't use the word optimal but uses what you see above. According to my lab: normal, optimal, or sufficient (whatever you want to call it) is 32-100 which means any number between 32 and 100.

Let me know if that helps, because I'm not sure if that answers your question.
