Vitamin D Test Kit

It’s estimated 75% of the UK population has low vitamin D levels. Supplementation is our only source from October to March. It’s important to know your level so you take the right amount. Too much can be very bad for our health but we need enough for good health.

Everyone would benefit from knowing their vitamin D levels, even if it’s just to check the supplements are doing their job. There are some groups of people who would particularly benefit:

People with limited exposure to sunlight (that’s all of us in the UK then!).

People who don’t go outside much through choice or health limitations.

Vegetarians and vegans as food sourced vitamin D3 is only found in animal products.
Over 50s due to slower vitamin D metabolic processing and decreased calcium absorption.

People with darker skin tones which need longer in the sun to get enough vitamin D.
Alcohol drinkers and smokers.
People with medical conditions and certain medications (see FAQs for more detail).
