Vitamin D testing

A blood test relevant in Canada because of limited winter sunlight.

Tests & investigations

Vitamin D deficiency is common in Canada, particularly during winter and at northern latitudes. Correcting a deficiency supports general and bone health; evidence that supplementation improves fertility outcomes on its own is limited. Health Canada provides intake recommendations, and your clinician can advise on testing and dose.

Also known as: 25-hydroxyvitamin D, vitamin D level
