I totally agree. Right now I'm actually very vitamin D deficient (10 ng/ml) and on 50,000 IU Rx dosage weekly, and I'm in Arizona! I just don't get enough sunlight and wear sunblock all the time due to being extremely fair and feeling like meat in a frying pan when the sun is on me. Also staying indoors due to Corona! But I wouldn't have guessed Vitamin D deficiency.

I haven't had any bone fracture issues (thankfully) since I'm still young, but low vitamin D levels can also apparently give you brain fogginess and depression, which I'm suffering from.

But it does seem like Vitamin D testing isn't on most normal testing regimes, it was only when I presented with depression that I got tested.
