Vitamin D Check

Vitamin D Check

Our Vitamin D Check provides a vital look into the levels of Vitamin D and Calcium, offering insights necessary for individuals looking to ensure their intake and absorption of these key nutrients are on target. Adequate levels of Vitamin D and Calcium are essential for maintaining bone density and preventing disorders such as osteoporosis, rickets, and a spectrum of other skeletal deformities.

Given the pivotal role of Vitamin D in supporting the immune system, particularly relevant in the context of seasonal illnesses and overall health, this panel is a must-have for health-conscious individuals. It’s also crucial for those with limited sun exposure or dietary intake of these nutrients.

The Vitamin D Check can be especially important for certain populations, including the elderly, those with darker skin, individuals living in northern latitudes with less sunlight year-round, and people who follow a vegan diet. Monitoring these levels is a proactive step in preventing potential health complications related to nutrient deficiencies.

What’s Checked

The Vitamin D Check includes the measurement of:

• Vitamin D: A fat-soluble vitamin that is key for the absorption of calcium, support of muscle function, and modulation of the immune response.
• Calcium (Serum): The most abundant mineral in the body, required for vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, and hormonal secretion.

Who Should Consider This Test?

• Residents in areas with limited sunlight exposure or individuals who spend most of their time indoors.
• Older adults, especially those with a risk of developing osteoporosis.
• Anyone with symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, such as bone discomfort or muscle weakness.
