How We Measure Your Vitamin D Levels
We use a specialised test to measure something called 25-hydroxyvitamin D (you can think of it as the active form of Vitamin D) in your blood. This is like taking a snapshot of your body's Vitamin D status, which is super important for keeping your bones strong and supporting your overall health.
25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D): Imagine 25(OH)D as the main player in the Vitamin D story. When we test for this, we get a clear picture of how much Vitamin D your body is using and whether it's enough to keep you healthy.
Much like knowing the correct tyre pressure keeps your car running smoothly and efficiently, understanding and maintaining the right Vitamin D levels ensures your body functions properly, supporting everything from bone health to immune function.
