MOST AMERICANS HAVE LOW LEVELS OF THIS IMPORTANT VITAMIN

Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total
Detects deficiencies in both Vitamin D2 and D3 as a potential cause of health problems. Also for those who are taking vitamin D supplements to ensure adequate levels and avoid excess.

Why Test Vitamin D Levels?
Important new research shows that low vitamin D can contribute to the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases. In fact, if you work inside and/or use sunscreen you’re probably vitamin D deficient. This applies even more if you live in a northern latitude or have dark skin.

Is the Blood Spot Test for Vitamin D Accurate?
It is highly accurate and unlike others, gives you a measure of both vitamin D2 and D3 and easy-to-interpret results. Best of all, you can take the test at home, without the hassle of going to the doctor and then to a lab have blood drawn.

What is an Optimal Vitamin D Level, and What is a Low Level?
When reading results, vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL indicates a deficiency, while levels below 30 ng/mL are considered “low." At this time, the scientific consensus is that optimal vitamin D levels are 30 to 60 ng/mL. Vitamin D can become toxic at levels greater than 150 ng/mL. When you order this vitamin D test kit, you don't have to remember these numbers! You will receive your results in an easy-to-read and understand format.

How do I Take this Vitamin D Blood Spot Test?
You’ll receive a test kit in the mail. The test involves a nearly painless finger stick and a few drops of blood on a special kind of blotting paper. Then simply put it in the prepaid envelope and mail it off to the lab. (International Orders do not include return postage.) You’ll usually receive your results two to three weeks.
