Diather Test Vitamin D is a home test kit for determining the concentration of vitamin D in the blood, which is carried out at home. The test allows a semi-quantitative determination of the level of 25(OH)D in fingertip blood. The Diather test allows you to get results in 10 minutes in four intervals that indicate a possible deficiency, low, normal or high level of the metabolite 25(OH)D in the blood:

• deficit: below 10 ng/ml
• low level: 10-30 ng/ml
• normal level: 30-100 ng/ml
• elevated level: over 100 ng/ml.

Vitamin D is produced naturally in human skin as a result of exposure to sunlight. It is classified as a fat-soluble vitamin. In the human body, it is stored in the liver as 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D).

Indications for a vitamin D test

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious diseases, therefore it is recommended to check the level of vitamin D metabolites in the blood regularly, especially in autumn and winter and in people belonging to risk groups, including those who are dealing with the problems of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, overweight, nutrition, mood swings, depression or diabetes and metabolic disease. It is also worth conducting such a test to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation used in case of drowsiness, fatigue and reduced immunity.

By regularly monitoring the level of vitamin D metabolites in the blood, it is possible to accurately determine the doses of preparations that supplement the level of this important vitamin. The Diather vitamin test allows quick and accurate (semi-quantitative) determination of 25(OH)D and self-monitoring at home at any time of the day .
