More recent research has highlighted its importance in immune modulation, protection against chronic diseases and increased athletic performance. Most of the Vitamin D we need is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight, and some can be absorbed through our diet. This test is not intended for diagnostic purposes but to provide an overview of the tested biomarkers in your body, at the time the sample is collected. Normal reference ranges for the analyzed biomarkers do not rule out underlying diseases/disorders during the time the sample is taken and can be affected by age, gender, race, diet, stress and other factors. Please consult your doctor if you are taking oestrogen containing oral contraceptives, biotin supplements and are currently pregnant.
