SBM Vitamin D Rapid Test Single 1ea

The Vitamin D Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid test for the detection and possible deficiency of vitamin D in human blood. Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a global epidemic. Virtually every cell in our body has receptors for Vitamin D, requiring sufficient levels for adequate functioning. The health risks associated with vitamin D deficiencies are far more significant than previously thought. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various serious diseases. Those at risk of having low levels of vitamin D include: • people who don’t get much exposure to the sun • older adults • people with obesity • babies who are breastfed only (formula is usually fortified with vitamin D) • people who have had gastric bypass surgery • people who have a disease that affects the intestines and makes it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients, such as Crohn’s disease. Maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D is not just important to improve bone health, but your overall health and wellbeing.
