VITAMINE D (25-OH-BITAMIN D)
Vitamin D is excreted when calcium levels are low in order to increase its absorption from the intestine.
WHY IS IMPORTANT?
Children need it to build their maximum bone density and adults to maintain bone homeostasis and metabolism. Especially in postmenopausal women where it increases the risk of osteoporosis helps to delay the reduction of bone mass.

25-OH-BITAMINH D is the primary form that reflects the vitamin's vitality in the body. It can be measured reliably when we are fasting and the Doctor for better metabolic evaluation will also ask PARATORMON, COSMETICS & PHOSPHORUS to be measured (IN THE BLOOD AND THE WAY)
