Even in our Pacific Northwest summer, vitamin D deficiency is more common than most people realize. A national analysis using CDC NHANES data has shown that a meaningful share of U.S. adults fall into deficient or insufficient categories. However, rates can be higher in certain age and demographic groups.
Why it matters: vitamin D supports bone health, immune function, and overall wellness. The good news is that a simple blood test can tell you exactly where you stand, and your provider can guide you on safe next steps if levels are low.
Curious about your levels? Ask your provider about a vitamin D test, or order one yourself through InterpathDirect.
