Vitamin D Insufficiency and Epistemic Humility: An Endocrine Society Guideline Communication

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Guideline communication

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Available clinical trial evidence does not permit establishment of 25(OH)D thresholds that specifically predict meaningful benefit with vitamin D supplementation; overall certainty of evidence very low

  2. The Endocrine Society no longer endorses its previous definitions of vitamin D "sufficiency" (at least 30 ng/mL [75 nmol/L]) or "insufficiency" (greater than 20 ng/mL [50 nmol/L] but lower than 30 ng/mL [75 nmol/L])
