Vitamin D Test UK: Compare Prices & Providers

What Does This Test Check?

The Vitamin D test measures your level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, the form the body uses. Vitamin D supports bones, immunity and muscle, and low levels are very common in the UK, especially through the winter months.

MyHealthChecked offers a rapid test at just 8 pounds with results in 10 minutes, and BetterYou offers a home kit at 29.99 pounds, making them the cheapest routes. Medichecks charges 39 pounds, YorkTest 41 pounds, Randox 46 pounds and Forth 50 pounds, so a full laboratory vitamin D check costs more but gives a more detailed result.

A low vitamin D result may indicate deficiency, which is usually easy to correct with a daily supplement, while a normal result is reassuring but does not rule out other causes of fatigue or low mood. Levels change with the seasons and sun exposure. Talk to your GP about the right dose rather than guessing, and repeat the test if you supplement.
