What is the purpose of this test?

The Vitamin D Test, Dried Blood Spot Profile - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit measures the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 in your blood, giving a clear picture of your Vitamin D status. Vitamin D is vital for keeping your bones strong by maintaining normal calcium and phosphorus levels and influencing over 2,000 genes that regulate essential processes like cell growth, immune function, and blood vessel formation.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to a variety of health issues, such as weak bones, heart problems, diabetes, and immune system disorders. This test helps identify if your body is getting enough Vitamin D from sunlight, food, or supplements and can indicate potential issues like malabsorption, liver disease, or an increased risk for chronic conditions. Monitoring your Vitamin D levels can help guide actions to protect your overall health.

The Vitamin D Test, Dried Blood Spot Profile - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit includes:

  • 25-hydroxyvitamin D2: Measures the level of Vitamin D2, which mainly comes from dietary sources or supplements, and shows how well synthetic Vitamin D is being absorbed.
  • 25-hydroxyvitamin D3: Assesses the level of Vitamin D3, which is produced by your skin from sun exposure and comes from natural food sources, to determine your body's natural Vitamin D status.

Who should get this test?

  • Individuals with symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, such as chronic fatigue, muscle or joint pain, or depression.
  • People with darker skin, limited sun exposure, or those who use sunblock regularly.
  • Adults with autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, or inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • Patients with cardiovascular issues, diabetes, or osteoporosis.
  • Breastfed infants who do not receive Vitamin D supplementation.
  • Elderly individuals who are homebound or have mobility limitations.
  • Anyone with a family history of Vitamin D deficiency or related health conditions.
