Which Vitamin D test is recommended among 25-OH Vitamin D, Vitamin D Total, and Vitamin D Profile?
Asked by Male, 30 · 2 months ago
The most appropriate and widely recommended test for assessing vitamin D status is the 25-OH Vitamin D (25-hydroxy Vitamin D) test, as it accurately reflects the body?s overall vitamin D stores. A "Vitamin D total" test usually measures the same parameter. A "Vitamin D profile" is generally not required unless your doctor specifically wants to assess calcium metabolism or parathyroid function along with vitamin D levels.

Recommended Test: For a 30-year-old male, the 25-OH Vitamin D test is most commonly recommended. It measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, the best indicator of vitamin D status.
Other Tests:
- Vitamin D Total: Similar to 25-OH, measures both D2 and D3.
- Vitamin D Profile: Includes additional components, usually unnecessary for routine screening.
Action: Discuss with your healthcare provider to confirm the most suitable test based on your health needs.
