For Vitamin D tests you only need to produce 4 drops.

When having Vitamin D levels checked, you should be aware that there are several forms of vitamin D in the body and the one that reflects body stores is Calcidiol, 25(OH) D. This is the only one that should be measured and is the one measured by this test.

Total Vitamin D or Calitriol 1, 25(OH) 2D3 levels do not give a true representation of your body stores and are of little value. (1)

Vitamin D levels are quoted either in terms of ng/ml or nmol/l , the conversion factor is 2.5, i.e. 1ng/ml=2.5nmol/l

Vitamin D levels for guidance
Deficient        <20ng/ml
Insufficient     <38ng/ml
Optimal    >50ng/ml
