Vitamin D Test, Serum Profile - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit

What is the purpose of this test?

The Vitamin D Test, Serum Profile - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit measures the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 in your blood, providing a clear picture of your Vitamin D status. Vitamin D is essential for keeping your bones strong by maintaining normal calcium and phosphorus levels. It also influences the activity of over 2,000 genes that regulate important processes like cell growth, immune response, and blood vessel formation.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a wide range of health issues, including weak bones, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and immune system disorders. This test helps identify whether your body is absorbing enough Vitamin D from sunlight, diet, or supplements, and it can indicate potential issues like malabsorption, liver disease, or an increased risk for chronic conditions. Monitoring your Vitamin D levels ensures that you’re taking the right steps to protect your overall health.

The Vitamin D Test, Serum Profile - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit includes:

• 25-hydroxyvitamin D2: Measures the level of Vitamin D2, which typically comes from dietary sources or supplements, and indicates the effectiveness of synthetic Vitamin D intake.
• 25-hydroxyvitamin D3: Assesses the level of Vitamin D3, produced by the skin after sun exposure and from natural food sources, to determine the 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.
