What is Vitamin D Profile in Jaipur?
The vitamin -D profile measures the levels of vitamin D in your body. This profile offers a Vitamin D3 test, Vitamin D2 test, and Vitamin D test (Total).

This test is also a useful indicator of osteoporosis (bone weakness), rickets (bone malformation), and osteomalacia(bone softening). Measures such as eating food containing vitamin D and getting more sunlight may help maintain optimal vitamin D levels in your body.
What does Vitamin D Profile measure?
Contains 3 testsVitamin D2 - Ergocalciferol present in plants and yeast, Vitamin D3- cholecalciferol, present in animal sources. Total Vitamin D- 25-hydroxyvitamin D , present in the body and formed from both Vit. D2 and D3
The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test is done to determine the level of Vitamin D in your blood, whether it is above and below the normal range. A low blood level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D can be seen if a person is not getting enough exposure to sunlight or enough dietary vitamin D to meet his or her body's demand or if there is a problem with its absorption from the intestines (cystic fibrosis, Crohn’s disease, or who have undergone gastric bypass surgery). Sometimes, drugs used to treat seizures (Phenytoin) can cause Vitamin D deficiency by interfering with the transformation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver. Severe liver and kidney diseases can also cause vitamin D deficiency. An increased level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D usually reflects excess supplementation of the vitamin.
