The Vitamin D Test measures the amount of this important nutrient in your blood, right from the comfort of your own home.
The key to knowing how much vitamin D you need is finding out what your levels are currently. You must measure your vitamin D levels to know how much you need to take, so this simple test is the easiest way to know where you stand. A test will measure for low levels of vitamin D in your blood so you can treat it with an appropriate vitamin D supplement.
This at-home test allows you to collect a sample, mail the blood test in and get your results in 2-4 weeks. It’s that simple.

For instance, if you have inflammation, gut issues, autoimmune problems, etc., these can all affect how much vitamin D your body can absorb. Many of us also work indoors and don’t get vitamin D from sunshine. This is why testing is so important to know exactly how much you need. Optimal levels of vitamin D have been shown to improve brain health and reduce the risks of some cancers. Put simply, vitamin D is correlated with better health.

Exposure to sunlight, eating vitamin D-rich foods and taking supplements does not guarantee that your blood level will be in the desirable range — it must be measured.
