Vitamin D is produced from the direct action of sunlight on the skin when outdoors and is only available in a few foods. It helps the body absorb minerals such as calcium to keep bones, teeth and muscle healthy.
Vitamin D in the body needs to be converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D before it can be used. A simple 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test can give an indication of vitamin D levels and the risk of deficiency.
If your test result indicates a risk of Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist before starting any treatment, which may include Vitamin D supplements.
