How We Measure Your Vitamin D Levels
We use a specialised test to measure the amount of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in your blood — the most accurate marker of your body’s vitamin D status.
Think of it as a snapshot of how much vitamin D your body has available to support essential functions like bone strength, immune defence, and muscle health.
-
It measures 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), the circulating form of vitamin D in your blood and the most accurate indicator of your overall vitamin D status. Your body converts both vitamin D\u2082 (from plants and fortified foods) and D\u2083 (from sunlight and animal sources) into this single measurable form.
-
No fasting is required. A small blood sample is collected via a simple finger prick. The sample is applied to a test card and the analyser provides a reading within minutes.
-
Deficient levels may increase the risk of bone weakness, fatigue, and low immunity \u2014 your GP may recommend supplementation. Borderline results suggest increasing sun exposure and vitamin D-rich foods, with a retest in 3 months. Normal levels indicate adequate status \u2014 maintain a balanced lifestyle and retest annually if at risk.

Understanding Your Vitamin D Test Results
When you receive your Vitamin D test results, they will be given in two measurements: nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) and nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). Here's a simple explanation of what these numbers mean for your health:
| Vitamin D Level (nmol/L) | Vitamin D Level (ng/mL) | What It Means for Your Health |
|
Less than 50 nmol/L
|
Less than 20 ng/mL
|
Deficient
Insufficient Indicates a severe lack of Vitamin D, which may lead to bone weakness, fatigue, and compromised immunity. Requires immediate supplementation and dietary changes. Retest after 3 months of supplementation. |
|
50 to 75 nmol/L
|
20 to 30 ng/mL
|
Insufficient
Insufficient indicates suboptimal Vitamin D levels, which may cause mild fatigue and low bone density over time. Consider moderate supplementation, increased sun exposure, and dietary adjustments. Retest in 6 months. |
|
More than 75 nmol/L
|
More than 30 ng/mL
|
Sufficient
Sufficient indicates healthy Vitamin D levels, supporting strong bones and a robust immune system. Maintain with a balanced diet and regular sun exposure. Retest annually to monitor levels. |
In some cases, especially if you're addressing a deficiency, we may recommend a follow-up test to ensure your Vitamin D levels have improved and stabilised. This allows us to fine-tune our recommendations and ensure your health is on the right track.
