Direct to the public vitamin D testing

from our NHS laboratory

• Due to temporary supply problems relating to the Middle East we lack a key component of our test pack. Orders are currently limited to single test packs. Keenly priced and with state of the art measurement in an NHS laboratory. • 2025 sees further investment in our direct to the public vitamin D testing service. • A finger-prick blood spot sample - not much more difficult to collect micro-samples. • You can take too much vitamin D. We regularly advise customers of potentially toxic levels. See NHS advise on toxicity and maximum oral doses here…

Our service to the public • The UK’s original vitamin D public testing laboratory, providing a public service since 2011. We are one of the largest NHS vitamin D testing laboratories, serving hospitals in Birmingham and the Black Country. • Our Vitamin D test pack includes everything required to take a sample and send it back to us. • Our service is used by the public and also researchers studying Vitamin D in the UK and around the world. How it works…. • Results are compared to NHS Vitamin D reference intervals used to interpret if you have enough vitamin D. • Results come with a clear interpretation. You can show our results to your pharmacist or nutritionist who can advise on any vitamin D supplements that may be required.
