A Vitamin D blood test measures the level of vitamin D in your blood. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including the regulation of calcium and phosphate absorption, maintaining bone health, supporting the immune system, and influencing cell growth.
It's important to note that these ranges may be subject to change, and individual factors should be considered when interpreting the results.
Why Test Vitamin D Levels?
A vitamin B12 blood test is a medical test that measures the amount of vitamin B12 in your blood. Vitamin B12 is a crucial nutrient that plays a key role in the formation of red blood cells, neurological function, and the synthesis of DNA. It is primarily obtained from animal-based foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
The B12 blood test is often ordered to assess whether a person has an adequate amount of vitamin B12 in their body. A deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to various health problems, including anemia and neurological issues.
