Why check your Vitamin D

In the UK, sunlight is too weak for much of the year for the skin to make enough Vitamin D, which is why UK health guidance suggests many people consider a daily supplement in autumn and winter.

This kit gives you a rough estimate of your Vitamin D level by comparing a test line against a colour card. It measures Vitamin D only — not other vitamins or minerals.

The three reference bands

First check that a blue control line (C) is visible. Then compare the T line with the card supplied in your kit — the lighter the T line, the lower the estimated level.

Deficient

Below 10 ng/mL

Insufficient

10 to below 30 ng/mL

Normal range

30 ng/mL or above

Blood first, then buffer

  1. 01

    Room temperature

    Let the kit reach 10–30°C and place the cassette on a flat surface.

  2. 02

    2 drops of blood

    Add about 10 µL (2 drops) of finger-prick blood to the well marked S.

  3. 03

    3 drops of buffer

    Once the blood has soaked in, add about 90 µL (3 drops) of buffer to the same well, then read at 15–20 minutes.

Limits of a colour-card estimate

  • It is a screening estimate, not a laboratory measurement or a diagnosis.
  • Phone and computer screens change colours — always use the printed card from your kit.
  • Do not interpret the test after 20 minutes.
