25-Hydroxy Vitamin D

The circulating indicator of systemic vitamin D levels.

Clinical Relevance

Vitamin D acts as a pre-hormone regulating calcium absorption, bone mineralization, immune cells, neuromuscular function, and inflammatory modulation.

Why It Varies

Influenced by solar UV exposure, geographical latitude, skin pigmentation, dietary supplementation, and digestive fat absorption capabilities.

Longevity & Lifestyle Pointers

  • Ensure appropriate outdoor exposure during sunny months in the UK.
  • Discuss a winter supplementation strategy (400-1000 IU daily) with a clinician.
  • Consume vitamin D-rich foods such as egg yolks, mushrooms, and oily fish.

Clinical Governance & Disclaimer

Deficiency is defined in the UK as below 50 nmol/L. Sub-optimal levels (50-75 nmol/L) can impact fatigue and athletic recovery, while severe deficiency requires clinical assessment for bone health.
