About Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common, even in sunny climates, largely because most of us spend our days indoors or covered up. This test measures 25-hydroxy vitamin D, the most accurate marker of your actual vitamin D stores.
Low vitamin D can show up as tiredness, bone or joint pain, or frequent illness, though many people have no obvious symptoms at all until levels are quite low. That is why doctors often include it in routine wellness checks.
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Once your report is ready, your doctor can decide whether supplementation is needed and at what dose.
How to Prepare
- No fasting required.
- Mention any vitamin D supplements you're currently taking when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy Vitamin D level?
Generally, 30 to 100 ng/mL is considered sufficient, below 20 ng/mL is deficient, and 20 to 30 ng/mL is considered insufficient, though ranges can vary slightly by lab.
Do I need to fast before a Vitamin D test?
No fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before your blood is drawn.
Why is Vitamin D deficiency so common even in sunny areas?
Most people spend limited time in direct sunlight, and sunscreen or covered clothing further reduces the skin's natural vitamin D production, regardless of climate.
What are the symptoms of low Vitamin D?
Fatigue, bone or muscle pain, and frequent infections are common, though many people with low levels have no noticeable symptoms at all.
How soon will I get my Vitamin D report?
Same day, typically within a few hours of your blood draw.
Can City Care Lab collect my Vitamin D sample at home?
