What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fatigue, frequent illnesses, bone or muscle pain, or mood changes like feeling down during winter months. It helps identify vitamin D deficiency, which affects bone health, immune function, energy levels, and overall well-being. Many people use this test when they spend limited time outdoors, live in northern climates, or suspect their symptoms are related to low vitamin D.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your vitamin D level means for your bone health, immune system, and energy. These notes include personalized recommendations like supplement dosages, dietary changes, or safe sun exposure tips. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your vitamin D levels over time using our trends feature to see how your supplementation or lifestyle changes are improving your status.

What's included in this test?

This test measures 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, the most accurate indicator of your body's vitamin D status. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone strength, supports immune function to help fight infections, and plays a role in mood regulation and energy levels. This single measurement provides crucial information about whether you're getting enough of this sunshine vitamin through sun exposure, diet, or supplements.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting is preferred but not required for this test, giving you flexibility in scheduling. You can have the test done at any time of day, though if you're taking vitamin D supplements, it's helpful to maintain your normal routine before testing for the most accurate reflection of your typical levels. No other special preparation is needed.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for people who spend most of their time indoors, live in northern climates with limited sunlight, have darker skin, or are over 50. It's also important if you're experiencing bone pain, frequent infections, fatigue, or depression. Anyone taking vitamin D supplements should test to ensure they're taking the right amount and achieving optimal levels.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs of low vitamin D include persistent fatigue, frequent colds or infections, bone or back pain, muscle weakness, and mood changes like feeling depressed, especially in winter. You might also experience slow wound healing, hair loss, or difficulty with balance and coordination. If you rarely spend time in sunlight or wear sunscreen constantly, you may have low levels even without obvious symptoms.

How can I naturally support my vitamin D levels?

The most effective natural method is safe sun exposure—about 10-30 minutes of midday sun several times per week on bare skin without sunscreen. Include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, fortified milk and cereals, and mushrooms exposed to UV light. If you have limited sun exposure or live in northern areas, vitamin D3 supplements are often necessary to maintain optimal levels.

What does low vitamin D mean?

Low vitamin D means your body isn't getting enough of this essential nutrient, which can weaken your bones and increase fracture risk. It may also compromise your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Low levels are often linked to fatigue, muscle weakness, mood issues, and slow healing, and are especially common in people with limited sun exposure.

What does high vitamin D mean?

High vitamin D levels are uncommon and usually only occur from excessive supplementation, not from sun exposure or food. Very high levels can cause calcium buildup in the blood, leading to nausea, weakness, kidney problems, and confusion. If your levels are elevated, your doctor will likely recommend reducing or stopping supplements and retesting to ensure levels return to the optimal range.

How often should I retest my vitamin D levels?

If you're starting vitamin D supplementation for low levels, retest in 8-12 weeks to ensure the dosage is working and levels are improving. Once you've reached optimal levels, annual testing is typically sufficient for monitoring. If you have conditions affecting absorption like digestive disorders, or if you're on high-dose therapy, your doctor may recommend more frequent testing every 3-6 months.
