Vitamin D Blood Test At-home Testing Kit

The Vitamin D Blood Test

Description:

This easy finger-prick blood test checks your levels of vitamin D – an essential vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium (a mineral needed to keep your bones, teeth and muscles healthy).

What's tested?

Vitamin D levels in your blood.

Is it for me?

Taking an Ivie Vitamin D Blood Test is a good idea if you’re at risk of vitamin D deficiency. You’re at risk if you:

• don't go outdoors often
• usually wear clothes that cover up most of your skin
• have dark skin (for example, you have an African or south Asian background)

Advisory Information:

It is important to note that blood tests alone are not a substitute for seeing a doctor, particularly if you have any symptoms. You should not make a diagnosis or start any treatment without a consultation with a doctor or suitably trained healthcare professional.

You should always post your blood sample on the same day you take your test, so be aware that postal delays can affect this process.

Extreme heat

In very hot weather, it's vital to post your blood sample as close to your postbox collection times as possible.

Posting your sample close to collection times helps stop it from getting too hot in the postbox, which can increase the failure rate once it reaches our lab.

You can check your postbox collection times by visiting Royal Mail's services near you.
