About Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate, nutrients important for keeping bones, teeth, and muscles healthy. Low vitamin D levels can lead to bone deformities or bone pain.

Sunlight induced vitamin D synthesis mainly occurs between March and September for anyone living above 37 N latitude. So, areas such as United Kingdom, most parts of Europe, Canada, and the northern states of the USA. Some people in hot countries also have suffer from vitamin D deficiency as they try to avoid the sun.
According to the UK Government’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey, 1 in 6 UK-adults have low vitamin D levels.

When the test (T) line shows a dense colour alongside the control (C) line this means someone is deficient. A mid-coloured T line and control (C) line means insufficient and a lightly colour T line suggests sufficient levels. No T line would suggest excess levels. Always consult a doctor if your result suggests you are deficient, insufficient or have excessive levels, or if you have concerns about your vitamin d levels. Always read the instructions before use.
