Vitamin D
Vitamin D Blood Spot test - measure your total Vitamin D levels.
Many testing methods do not differentiate between the two forms of vitamin D. However, this test method is sensitive and specific for both vitamin D2 and D3 levels in the body, and each form is measured and reported independently.
This provides the best assessment of your vitamin D status, and includes the vitamin D you get from your diet, supplements and exposure to UVB light, such as sunlight.
