Vitamin D Test
Vitamin D, like all nutrients, is essential for life. Our bodies need it from our environment (sunlight and food in this case) to function. It also plays an important role in building and maintaining strong bones. But that’s not all. Every cell in our body has receptors for vitamin D, meaning it can affect virtually everything that happens inside our cells. Research shows that people with higher blood levels of vitamin D live better for longer, with immune and cardiovascular systems that function better.
Vitamin D helps your immune system fight viruses by supporting healthy antibody production. With age our antibody production can be low so its very important to know your status throughout the stages of your life.
This simple home kit is designed to give your Vitamin D status with a few drops of blood, 000you are then presented with an easy to understand report to help you optimize your Vitamin D status.
The Vitamin D test measures the level of total Vitamin D in your blood and is equivalent to 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 in plasma. It reflects your Vitamin D status over the past 1-2 months. As a part of a healthy lifestyle, a Vitamin D blood level in the 30-50 ng/mL range may help support metabolic, heart, brain and immune health.
