Rapid self-test for the semi-quantitative detection of vitamin D in human whole blood

Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc. Vitamin D is produced by skin exposed to ultraviolet B radiation or obtained from dietary sources, including supplements. Average daily vitamin D intake in the population and current dietary reference intake values are often inadequate to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. Virtually every cell in our body has receptors for Vitamin D, meaning that they all require "sufficient" level of Vitamin D for adequate functioning. Vitamin deficiency has been linked to various serious diseases: osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, pregnancy complications, diabetes, strokes, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, etc.

VITAMIN D TEST is intended for persons commonly at risk for vitamin D deficiency, such as people who get tired and fatigued easily, inadequate sun exposure, limited oral intake, or have impaired intestinal absorption.

Draw a blood sample using the sterile lancet provided.

What happens if the results reading time is not met? The test has been carried out correctly when the instructions for use are followed. It includes the reading time and the interpretation of the results shown at the "RESULTS INTERPRETATION" section of the instructions for use.

How to prove that the test worked correctly? A coloured line will appear at the control region (C) on the test device, showing that the test performed correctly. The absence of the coloured line suggests to repeat the test with a new device and a new sample.

How to interpret the test if the control and test lines have different intensities? The colour and intensity of the lines do not affect the interpretation of the result. The test has to be considered positive regardless of the colour intensity of the test line (T).

If the result of your rapid test indicates an inadequate level of vitamin D, it is advisable to take further steps. You may boost your vitamin D level in several ways.

-Include vitamin D rich foods in your diet. Remember to eat fortified dairy products, fortified cereals, beef liver, egg yolks, fatty fish, and others.
-Start supplementation. Vitamin D supplements are available in various forms, such as pills or effervescent tablets. The supplementation dosage should be consulted with a specialist.
-Remember about sun exposure. Lack of sunlight is one of the causes of vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, spending time in the sun may increase vitamin D absorption in your body.
-Monitor your test results. Performing check-up rapid tests regularly is crucial for estimating the effectiveness of supplementation or other vitamin D deficiency treatment methods.

It is always crucial to identify the underlying cause of vitamin D deficiency and follow specialists’ guidelines.
