    GlossarySerum Vitamin D Levels (25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels)

    measure vitamin D concentration in your blood

    Serum Vitamin D Levels, also known as 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels or 25(OH)D Levels, measure the amount of vitamin D in your blood. This is important for assessing your vitamin D status, which is crucial for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. Low levels can indicate a deficiency, which may lead to conditions like osteoporosis or rickets, while high levels can be toxic.
