Instructions for use for the article Cerascreen Vitamin D test kit

The cerascreen vitamin D test is a self-test for taking samples that can be sent free of charge to a specialist diagnostic laboratory.Customers receive a detailed results and recommendation report.No prescription is required for this product.

The test is used to determine and evaluate the concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-D) in the capillary blood.This is the storage form of vitamin D and allows a precise statement about the actual vitamin D status in the body.Vitamin D metabolism is also measured in the form of the ratio of 25(OH)D3 to 24.25(OH)D3.

The test uses the modern dried blood method - you only have to get three drops of blood onto a dried blood card with a small prick in your fingertip.The samples also have a very long shelf life.

The cerascreen vitamin D test is suitable for anyone who wants to test their vitamin D levels from home.Especially when you spend most of your time in the office, you do not produce enough vitamin D from sunlight.Dark-skinned people also have a higher risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency, as less vitamin D is produced from sunlight due to the higher pigmentation of the skin.

Vitamin D deficiencies also occur more frequently in older age, because on the one hand the requirement is higher and on the other hand less vitamin D is produced due to the reduced skin thickness.Therefore, regular monitoring of vitamin D levels is particularly important for older people.

Why test vitamin D?

A lack of vitamin D can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and muscle weakness.Sometimes it goes unnoticed - but in the long term it still increases the risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures and other diseases.

According to the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, one in three people now waits more than three weeks for an appointment with a specialist.One in four people sits in the waiting room for an hour or more.Don't put off important examinations because of this - instead, take your health into your own hands.
