Saving Grace, Dr. Holick says levels at 100 ng/ml are safe. Here's a paragraph from one of his reports:

The only way to know whether you are getting enough vitamin D is to have your doctor measure your blood for 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the circulating form. Most experts, including myself, believe that a blood level of less than 20 ng/ml indicates vitamin D deficiency. However, to obtain the full health benefits of vitamin D, I recommend maintaining a blood level of greater than 30 ng/ml. Levels of up to 100 ng/ml are safe and not associated with toxicity. However, patients who suffer from the rare disease sarcoidosis should discuss this with their doctor, since increasing blood level above 30 ng/ml can cause them to have excessively high blood calcium. For details, please visit my web site (VitaminDHealth.org), where there is a wealth of information on vitamin D.
