About this test

This test checks vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels and supports bone strength, using a rapid finger-prick blood sample. It flags a result as sufficient, insufficient or deficient in around 10 minutes rather than sending a sample to a lab.

Among the eight comparable vitamin D tests we track, all single-marker and priced from £38 to £53.25, this £8 test is the cheapest by some margin. The provider states you would need a secondary test to confirm your specific vitamin D level.

The value for money score is at the maximum given how far below every peer this sits, and clinical depth scores reasonably since it tests exactly the one marker the group is built around. Results and follow-up scores lower, because the result is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants a fast, low-cost first check on vitamin D levels, for example if you rarely get sun exposure or have symptoms linked to deficiency. It is cheaper than every comparable test we track, including the next cheapest at £38 from Monitor My Health. If you want a specific numeric result rather than a sufficient or insufficient banding, a lab-based test would give more detail.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and apply it to the rapid test, which shows a sufficient, insufficient or deficient result within around 10 minutes with no sample posted to a lab. Online support is available to help you understand the result, though a doctor review is not included as standard.
