Vitamin D Test Kit - Check for Deficiency & Insufficiency - 1 Vitamin D Testing Kit - Easy Home Testing for Accurate Results

After feeling perpetually exhausted despite getting enough sleep, I decided to check my vitamin D levels before heading to the GP. Living in Manchester where sunshine is basically mythical half the year, it seemed a likely culprit.The kit arrived promptly in discreet packaging and contained everything needed - lancet device, collection card, alcohol wipe, plaster, and pre-paid return envelope. The instructions were clear with helpful diagrams that made the process straightforward.I was initially nervous about the finger-prick blood collection (not great with needles), but the lancet device was virtually painless - just a quick click and it was done. Getting enough blood drops onto the collection card was a bit fiddly, but warming my hands under hot water beforehand as suggested in the instructions definitely helped.The return process couldn't be simpler - just pop the dried sample card in the pre-addressed envelope and drop it in any postbox. I received an email confirming receipt of my sample the next day.Results arrived by email within three working days, which was faster than the 5-7 days mentioned on the website. The report was comprehensive and easy to understand, showing my vitamin D level (which was indeed quite low at 35 nmol/L) along with clear explanations of what the numbers meant and recommended next steps.The accuracy seems spot on - I took the results to my GP who confirmed the findings and recommended supplementation rather than ordering another test, saving NHS resources and my time.Price-wise, at around £30 it's not cheap, but considering lab testing and detailed analysis is involved, plus the convenience of doing it at home, I think it's reasonable. Certainly cheaper than private blood tests at clinics.My only slight criticism would be that the lancet was single-use, and I ended up needing to use one from a previous diabetes testing kit to get enough blood. Maybe including a spare would be helpful.Overall, I'd definitely recommend this kit to anyone living in the UK who suspects they might be vitamin D deficient. It's given me actionable information that's already helping me address my fatigue issues with proper supplementation. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and health insights.

Good value for money, easy to use, results in ten minutes

Easy to use, but is it as accurate and as informative as a clinical blood test ?

I was previously told, many years ago at hospital that i was vitamin D deficient.I bought this to see if that was still the case. I had a line indicating that I have insufficient levels.Easy to use, and understand. Good price too.

Simple to set up and use.Not so simple to interpret results. Have included photos which show my level is Sufficient - or Insufficient - your guess is as good as mine. Given an iPhone can pick out detail in faint images that the eye has trouble identifying I had hoped that photographing the result would make it easier to read. Obviously not . . .Given I take a high-dose Vitamin D supplement every day then either the test is rubbish or the pill I am swallowing is no good. I am afraid will keep taking the tablets and not waste my money on this sort of thing again.

Did what it said it would do and told me I'm not deficient.

Easy to use.It's estimated up to around 60% of Britons are deficient in Vitamin D. If you've got achey bones etc this could be the reason why. I'd rather top up on Vit D supplements and foods than prescribed meds so with the knowledge gained from this test that I'm deficient I will try that route first

I bought this as I have been taking a Vitamin D Supplement for around four months and wanted to know if I had achieved a sufficiency of it. The kit seems to be of clinical quality however the pipette was a little too fiddly for me and although I got a strong Check line indicating a good test I was not able to tell a sufficient result from a deficient result using the colour chart provided. The test line looked to be similar to both pass and fail when these comparison lines on the result checker were offered up to the test line. I did video it but it was too big to upload here and I'm not able to include external links on the Amazon platform.
