Measures vitamin D to help assess whether your level is within an appropriate range for health and wellbeing.
Blood testing is available to adults aged 18 and over.
How does it work?Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate and is important for healthy bones, teeth, muscles and immune function. Low vitamin D is common in the UK, particularly after winter when sunlight exposure has been limited.
Deficiency can contribute to muscle weakness, bone discomfort and other non-specific symptoms. Measuring vitamin D provides an objective result that can help guide appropriate supplementation and follow-up when required.
The biomarkers included in this profile are grouped below so you can see exactly what is being assessed.
Vitamins are required for normal cell function, growth and development. Measuring selected vitamins can help identify deficiencies that may contribute to common symptoms and health problems.
25-hydroxy vitamin D is the main blood marker used to assess vitamin D status. Low levels can affect bone and muscle health and may indicate a need for dietary or supplementation advice.

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.
Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP. Alternatively you can book an appointment with one of our Private GP for £49 if you would like to discuss your results in more detail.
For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.
