Direct to the public vitamin D

testing from our NHS laboratory

• Reasonably priced and state of the art measurement in an NHS laboratory. • 2024 sees further investment in our direct to the public vitamin D testing service. • A finger-prick blood spot sample - not 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 also one of the largest NHS vitamin D testing labs. • Our Vitamin D test pack includes everything required to take a sample and send it back to us. • Our vitamin D testing service is used by the public and researchers studying Vitamin D 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.
