Vitamin D Test
Our simple-to-use finger-prick blood test determines your current Vitamin D levels and can be done in your home. Learning your Vitamin D levels allows you to make the necessary diet, lifestyle or supplement changes to improve your health. The test measures vitamin D2 and D3 to give your current Vitamin D levels (25 OH) using just a few drops of dried blood.
Vitamin D plays a vital role in the body. Unfortunately, few foods naturally contain Vitamin D, most of which have only very low amounts. It is also a challenge to get the required vitamin D levels through sunlight. It’s therefore unsurprising that deficiencies and sub-optimal levels are common.

Elise Larkin –
The test was easy to do at home and from activating the test all the way through to the report, there was clear communication. The test report was very clear and concise and written in plain English and not technical. I am now able to take measures to counteract a deficiency. Amazing service from start to finish
