What is a vitamin D test?
Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is mainly essential for upholding health by supporting the bones, the immune system, and mood. A test of Vitamin D simply reflects in a blood test how much 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is present in your bloodstream. It is the most precise indicator of the body’s Vitamin D status.
Types of vitamin D tests
25-Hydroxyvitamin D Test (25(OH)D)

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Test (1,25(OH)2D)
