Why Test for Vitamin D?
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a wide range of health issues, including:
- Bone weakness and fractures (due to impaired calcium absorption)
- Osteoporosis
- Fatigue and muscle weakness
- Increased risk of chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
- Mood disorders, including depression
However, excessively high levels of vitamin D can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like nausea, weakness, and kidney damage. Monitoring your vitamin D levels ensures you maintain an optimal balance, supporting both bone and overall health.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.
