25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Test
The 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D test through LifeLabs can help detect a potential vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is produced by your body when the sun’s UV rays contact your skin and also occurs naturally in a limited amount of food sources. It is estimated that up to one-third of Canadians do not have the recommended levels of vitamin D. This simple blood test can provide you with piece of mind that you are receiving the vitamin D that you need for optimum health.About 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Testing
