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.

How to use
This home self-test kit is for adults (aged 18 and over) for the collection of a finger prick blood sample. This test is a screening tool to indicate the risk of Vitamin D deficiency. Please read the instruction leaflet carefully before use.
Scroll down for video instructions and results guidance.
Once you have collected your sample and performed your test, you must wait 10 minutes after applying your sample into the test cassette before you read the results. From there, it's essential that you compare the test (T) line intensity with the "Vitamin D colour card" provided with the kit to get an indication of the Vitamin D level in your blood. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
