About this test

Concerned about your vitamin D? Check on your levels

A deficiency in vitamin D can cause a variety of symptoms, and in severe cases may lead to a loss in bone strength. This quick test is a way to check your vitamin D using a blood sample and gain access to information to help you decide what to do next.

Why test

Vitamin D is essential to keep us healthy. It helps to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate we have in our bodies, allowing our cells to function effectively and keeping our bones and teeth strong.

Vitamin D deficiency may lead to a loss in bone strength. Reduced bone strength can create difficulties with walking and lead to an increased risk of fractures. It is also associated with several other health risks, so taking a test to help spot a potential deficiency early could help avoid more serious problems in future.

This test has been designed by healthcare professionals to give you a good indication if your vitamin D levels are sufficient (>30ng/ml), insufficient (10-30ng/ml) or deficient (<10ng/ml). You also have the option to access doctor-led recommendations on the next steps you could take.

Intended use

This test can be used to screen for current vitamin D levels using a simple home blood test. It gives you a semi-quantitative analytical result. This means that while it will give you a good indication of vitamin D levels in your blood, you'll need a secondary analytical test if you require your specific levels of vitamin D.

  • Simple finger prick rapid test
  • Results in 10 minutes, no need to send to a lab
