Vitamin D Test: Why So Many People Are Deficient

Vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly common, even in sunny countries like India.

What is a Vitamin D test?

The Vitamin D test, also called the 25-OH Vitamin D test, measures the level of vitamin D circulating in your blood. Vitamin D plays a key role in bone health, immune function, and muscle strength.

Why is deficiency so common?

Despite abundant sunlight in much of India, indoor lifestyles, sunscreen use, pollution, and darker skin tone (which reduces natural synthesis) all contribute to widespread Vitamin D deficiency across the population.
