VITAMIN D (25 OH)

Vitamin D is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat-soluble prohormones, which encourages the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous.

People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis in the skin.


Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, and calcium and phosphate are needed to help keep bones and teeth healthy.

Good Vitamin D food sources are oily fish and eggs. Other food sources include fortified foods such as margarine, breakfast cereals and powdered milk.

Liver and liver products are also good sources of vitamin D, but they are also a rich source of vitamin A.

There are two vitamin D tests - Vitamin D (25 OH) and Vitamin D (1, 25 Dihydroxy). Vitamin D (25 OH) is the better marker of overall D status. It is this marker that is most strongly associated with overall health.


Vitamin D tests and other nutritional tests can be found in the Nutritional section.
