 Shine a light on your health

Zinzino’s VitaminD Test is an easy self-test for analysing the vitamin D levels in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using a Dried Blood  Spot (DBS) technique. A DBS is scientifically proven to be as accurate as a venous blood sample when vitamin D status is to be analyzed. All it  requires is 1 to 2 drops of blood from the fingertip on a Whatman® filter paper and it takes less than a minute to complete. VITAS Analytical  Services in Norway will analyse your current vitamin D status and the result is anonymous. The status can vary throughout the year depending on  sun exposure, diet where you live, and food supplementation. Therefore the recommended test interval is 120 days. Using your personal test ID  you will get in-depth personalised recommendations based on your vitamin D status in order to optimise it.

What Zinzino measure
There are different methods to assess stores of vitamin D in your body and we use best practice to ensure our accuracy of analysis is superior. A  25-hydroxyvitamin D test is the best way to monitor vitamin D levels as it measures the 25(OH)D, also called calcidiol, in your blood. 

The test reflects all three sources of vitamin D; from food, supplements and skin synthesis, and determines if your vitamin D levels are optimal, t  too high or too low. 

The normal range of vitamin D is measured as nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) or nanomoles per litre (nmol/L). Nmol/L is the most common way  of showing the vitamin D status. However, in the US, and a handful of other countries, the same levels are measured using ng/mL. Therefore,  when the test results are presented, it is possible to select which measurement unit to be shown.

How does it work?
 

• Step 1. Take your test
  Start by simply pricking your finger and putting 1–2 drops of blood on a filter paper.
   

• Step 2. Activate your test
  Register your test by entering your test ID and filling out the form. All data is anonymous.
   

• Step 3. Start your journey
  Benefit from a clear starting point for your journey to a normal functioning immune system. Gently adjust and maintain your optimal vitamin D status throughout the year.
   

• Step 4. Wait for the analysis
  Vitas Analytical Services has more than 25 years of experience with cutting-edge knowledge and technology, which guarantees that they analyze your sample independently and protect your privacy.
   

• Step 5. Get your results
  Your results are accessible and shown in our easy-to-understand graphics within 10-20 days.
   

• Step 6. Re-test your levels
  Vitamin D uptake from sun exposure varies in many parts of the world throughout the year, and restoring your status generally takes 3–4 months of consuming vitamin D supplements, depending on the dose and your individual status. We recommend taking a new test every 4 months to track your progress and ensure you reach and maintain your optimal vitamin D status
