What is a Vitamin D Test?
This test measures the amount of vitamin D in your blood. There are two different forms: the active form 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D and the inactive form 25-hydroxy vitamin D, which serves as a supply for the active form. To determine whether someone has enough vitamin D, the inactive form is usually measured.
Vitamin D helps to keep your bones healthy and strong. It forms in the body when sunlight is absorbed through your skin. A vitamin D deficiency is fairly common and can cause various symptoms.
- Sleeping problems
- Lethargic and fatigue
- Depression
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain
- Hair loss
- Osteoporosis
The good news is that a vitamin D deficiency can usually be reversed fairly quickly.
What do the results of this test mean?
Vitamin D deficiency
If your vitamin D is below 30 Ng / mL, this indicates a vitamin D deficiency. This can possibly be caused by too little sunlight or insufficient absorption in the intestines. Some steps you can take to improve your Vitamin D levels are;
1. More sunlight
2. Taking food supplements
3. Eating oily fish such as eel, herring and salmon
Adequate Vitamin D.
If vitamin D levels fall within the range of 30 to 80 Ng / mL, it means that you have produced enough Vitamin D in your body.
Increased Vitamin D value
If Vitamin D levels are above 80 Ng / mL, it is referred to as an increased Vitamin D value.

Your vitamin D test result will tell you how high or how low your vitamin D level is, reported in Nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
