Vitamin D is essential for bone health and glucose metabolism. It helps us absorb the calcium and phosphorous in our diet that keep teeth and bones healthy.
Vitamin D regulates the body’s levels of calcium and phosphate. These are the primary nutrients that protect teeth, bones, and muscles, and keep them strong.
We get most of our vitamin D from sunshine when it contacts our skin. This is why levels tend to be higher during the warmer months. Some foods also contain vitamin D, such as oily fish, liver, red meat, and eggs. Some foods are fortified with vitamin D as well.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Low levels of vitamin D can lead to decreased bone density, osteoporosis, and osteomalacia in adults, and rickets in children. It is more common to be deficient in the colder, cloudier months.
Supplementation
Please note that regular blood testing is required when taking vitamin D supplements.

Please arrive for this test well-hydrated, to make the procedure easier.
This test is a simple blood test. A needle is inserted into a vein, usually on the inner arm near the elbow, and a small amount of blood is drawn. You may feel a pricking or scratching sensation.
The results will be sent to you by email as a PDF attachment. If you had a consultation with one of our GPs, they will also give you a call to discuss your results.
If you decide to have just a blood test with us, no interpretation is provided. In that case, you can take the results to your own doctor or book a consultation with one of our GPs.
