What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing constant fatigue, unexplained muscle pain or weakness, frequent illnesses, or feeling down and moody. It measures your vitamin D levels to identify deficiency, which is extremely common and affects bone health, immune function, energy levels, and even your mood. Many people use this test when they suspect low vitamin D from limited sun exposure or when symptoms suggest their body isn't getting enough of this essential nutrient.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting is preferred but not required for this test, so you can have it done at your convenience. Results typically take about 5 business days, though if confirmation testing is needed, it may take a bit longer. You can take your regular medications and supplements as usual unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.

What's included in this test?

Vitamin D, 25-Oh, D2 Vitamin D, 25-Oh, D3 Vitamin D, 25-Oh, Total

This test measures Vitamin D, 25-OH, D2 (the synthetic form found in supplements), Vitamin D, 25-OH, D3 (the natural form your body makes from sunlight), and Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total (your overall vitamin D status). By measuring both forms separately using advanced technology, this test provides a complete picture of your vitamin D levels and helps determine whether deficiency is due to lack of sun exposure, inadequate diet, or poor supplement absorption. Together, these measurements reveal how well your body is maintaining this essential nutrient that impacts bone strength, immune health, energy, and mood.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your vitamin D levels mean for your energy, bone health, and immune function. These notes include personalized recommendations like how much sun exposure to aim for, dietary changes to increase vitamin D intake, and whether supplementation might help. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your vitamin D levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results in approximately 5 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required to verify your levels, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is especially important for people who spend most of their time indoors, live in northern climates with limited sunlight, have darker skin (which produces vitamin D less efficiently), or are over 50 when vitamin D production naturally decreases. It's also valuable for anyone experiencing fatigue, bone pain, frequent infections, depression, or slow wound healing. People with conditions that affect nutrient absorption, such as digestive issues, should also consider testing.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common signs of low vitamin D include persistent tiredness even after adequate rest, muscle aches or weakness, bone pain especially in the back or legs, getting sick frequently with colds or infections, and feeling down or experiencing seasonal mood changes. You might also notice slow wound healing, hair loss, or difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can be subtle and develop gradually, making testing important for confirmation.
How can I naturally increase my vitamin D levels?
The most effective way is getting regular sun exposure by spending 10-30 minutes in midday sun several times per week without sunscreen, though this depends on your skin tone and location. Include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), egg yolks, fortified milk and cereals, and mushrooms exposed to UV light. If you live in areas with limited sunlight or have difficulty getting adequate sun exposure, a vitamin D3 supplement is often recommended after testing confirms your levels.
What is vitamin D and why does it matter?
Vitamin D is often called the sunshine vitamin because your body produces it when your skin is exposed to sunlight. It's essential for absorbing calcium to build strong bones, supporting your immune system to fight infections, regulating mood and energy levels, and even supporting muscle function. Unlike most vitamins, it acts more like a hormone in your body, affecting cells throughout your entire system. Without enough vitamin D, you're at higher risk for bone problems, frequent illnesses, fatigue, and mood issues.
What does low vitamin D mean?
Low vitamin D means your body doesn't have enough of this nutrient to support optimal health. This is extremely common, especially in winter months or for people who spend most time indoors. Low levels can lead to weakened bones, increased risk of fractures, frequent infections due to a compromised immune system, persistent fatigue, muscle weakness, and mood problems including seasonal depression. The good news is that vitamin D deficiency is easily correctable through increased sun exposure, dietary changes, or supplementation.
How often should I retest my vitamin D levels?
If your initial test shows low vitamin D and you start supplementation or make lifestyle changes, retest in 3-4 months to see if your levels have improved and to ensure you're taking the right dose. Once your levels are optimal, testing once or twice a year is typically sufficient for monitoring, especially before and after winter when levels tend to drop. If you have conditions affecting vitamin D absorption or are on high-dose supplementation, your healthcare provider may recommend more frequent monitoring.

What this means

Your vitamin D level is below the optimal range, indicating deficiency. This can contribute to the fatigue, muscle weakness, and low mood you may be experiencing, and also affects your bone health and immune function over time.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
