Fatigue, muscle pain, fragile bones
Osteoporosis or rickets in children
Increased risk of infections or autoimmune diseases
🧪 How the Vitamin D Self-Test Works
Main types:
1. Rapid home test (qualitative)
It measures whether vitamin D is sufficient or deficient (but does not provide an exact value).
It works like a strip test (like a blood sugar or pregnancy test).
Result in 10–15 minutes.
2. Test with laboratory referral (quantitative)
A drop of blood is collected on a piece of cardboard (blood spot).
The sample is sent by mail to a certified laboratory.
