2San Vitamin D Deficiency Test
Feeling tired? Catching colds more often? 2San Vitamin D Deficiency Test is an easy to use home test kit to check whether, like over 40% adults, you are vitamin D deficient with results in just 10 minutes. Vitamin D is a vital nutrient that plays an essential role in maintaining the immune system, bone strength, mood and energy levels and a deficiency can cause symptoms such as low mood, fatigue and frequent illness. Vitamin D is found in some foods, but our main source is sunlight. During the winter months the sun’s rays may be weaker and vitamin D deficiency may be more common.
Iron and good thyroid function also play a role in energy levels so 2San recommends these tests alongside the Vitamin D test.
2San Vitamin D Deficiency Test is based on competitive binding. The 25 (OH) D present in the blood specimen competes with the 25 (OH) D antigens on the test line for a limited amount of anti-25 OH Vitamin D antibodies. The intensity of the test line determines the Vitamin D level.
If the result indicates Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, consult your doctor and show them the test result. Your doctor will determine if further analysis or supplementation is needed. If the result is sufficient, it means the Vitamin D level is within the normal range, however, if symptoms persist, consult your doctor for further advice.
