What is a Vitamin D Blood Test?

A Vitamin D Blood Test measures the amount of circulating vitamin D in your blood to assess whether your levels are low, sufficient, or above the recommended range.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphate, which are important for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and normal muscle function.

The most commonly measured form of vitamin D is 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), which provides the most reliable indication of overall vitamin D status.
