Prima - vitamin d test
Vitamin D belongs to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc. Blood concentration of vitamin D is considered the best indicator of the level of vitamin D in the body.
Nowadays, vitamin D deficiency is recognized as a worldwide epidemic. This has been linked to several severe diseases: osteoporosis, osteomalacia, cardiovascular diseases, complications in pregnancy, diabetes, depression, autoimmune diseases, flu, infectious diseases and more. For this reason, the detection of vitamin D levels is now considered as a “medically necessary screening test”.WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
VITAMIN D TEST is intended for people who are commonly at risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as those who get tired and weary easily, have poor sun exposure, have a limited oral intake or an impaired intestinal absorption.
