This test measures the level of Vitamin D in your blood, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK, especially during winter months.
Test Included
Vitamin D plays a vital role in maintaining healthy bones, teeth and muscles by helping your body absorb calcium and phosphate. It also supports normal immune function and contributes to muscle strength and general wellbeing. Low vitamin D levels are common in the UK and may contribute to tiredness, muscle weakness, bone pain and an increased risk of fractures. Measuring vitamin D helps identify deficiency and monitor response to supplementation.
Important Information
Sun Exposure: Vitamin D levels can vary with seasonal sun exposure.
Supplements: If you take Vitamin D supplements, continue taking them as normal unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
