What Does a Semi-Quantitative Result Mean?

25-hydroxyvitamin D is the form found in the blood that is used to describe vitamin D status. The test does not give an exact numerical value; instead, it shows which range your vitamin D level falls into. This is a good starting point, but a laboratory test and medical advice are needed to determine the exact value and the dosage of any supplementation.

Who Is It For?

For those who want a quick way to check their vitamin D level at home, for example before starting vitamin D supplementation. You can read more about vitamin D and vitamin D products in various formats on the related pages below.

Why a Home Rapid Test?

The test can be done discreetly in your own home, without an appointment, and gives a result within minutes. This makes it easier to decide whether you should see a doctor, and you can take the result with you to the consultation. It is especially useful if you find it hard to make time for an appointment at a doctor's office or are looking for a more discreet option.

Use and Storage

Please follow the instructions for use in the package exactly, especially the steps on sample collection and reading time, as following them affects the result. Read the instructions all the way through before collecting the sample, and have a clock or timer ready so you keep to the reading time. Keep the test in its original, unopened packaging until use.

Important Information

The rapid test gives a preliminary, informational result: it does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. If the result is positive or uncertain, or if your symptoms persist despite a negative result, see a doctor, who will decide on any further tests.
