An adequate blood level is considered to be above 50 nmol/litre; the scientific literature suggests that a higher level than this is optimal. However, levels above 250 nmol/litre are not advised and in this case, measures should be taken to lower levels. Please note some laboratories use different units i.e. ng/ml rather than nmol/litre quoted here. In this case an adequate blood level is considered to be 20ng/ml (again the optimal range is higher than this).
