Collect Sample: A simple finger prick test will draw a few drops of blood.
Mail Sample: The drop is mailed to OmegaQuant, where vitamin D status will be assessed.
Get Results: Results will be sent to the email address provided within one to two weeks.
Modify Diet: Dietary and lifestyle modifications may be recommended to help increase our score (if it is low).
Keep With It and Monitor Level: It typically takes about two to three months to increase our level. Monitor progress by taking a Vitamin D Test every 3-4 months.
The Vitamin Dad. Blood Test Kit is a simple, at-home finger-prick test that measures the amount of D3 in our blood by the gold standard LC-MS/MS method. Vitamin D blood levels in the range of 30-100 ng/mL have been associated with many beneficial health results.
The laboratory results are sent within two weeks. Once we know our vitamin D levels, we can make diet and lifestyle modifications to improve our levels in as little as a few months (if needed). Progress can be monitored by taking another test.
Despite the benefits of home testing, the FDA recommends taking precautions when using home-use tests.
See your health care provider regularly. Home use tests are intended to help you with your health care, but they should not replace periodic visits to your doctor.
Most tests are best evaluated together with your medical history, a physical exam, and additional testing.
Always see your doctor if you are feeling sick, are worried about a possible medical condition, or if the test instructions recommend you do so.
