Three Easy Ways to Test For Vitamin D Deficiency
Here are three ways to get tested for Vitamin D Deficiency
1. If you have health insurance, you can ask your doctor to order this exact test:
25-hydroxyvitamin D test, also called a 25(OH)D.
Your results should be between 50–80 ng/ml, year-round for both adults and children. If you come up deficient, follow these guidelines found at the Vitamin D Council.
2. Order an in-home test through the VitaminDCouncil.org. They’ve arranged for reduced rates – you can get one test for $65.00 or 4 tests for $220.00. Click here for details about the test, and how to order.
3. Go to GrassRootsHealth.net and join D*action. This is what I just did. You have to register with the site with an email and password, then fill out a short questionnaire. After that you can purchase your Vitamin D test for a mere $30.00. The results will be sent directly to you. You have the opportunity in another 6 months to do it again. Their goal is to gather information for 5 years and stop the Vitamin D Deficiency epidemic before millions more lives are needlessly lost. As of this writing, a full 60% of those tested through D*action have been Vitamin D Deficient. Are you? Are your kids? Please check, and pass the link on to everyone you care about.
