info - vitamin D test

For the purpose of nutritional assessment of vitamin D status, make sure you

request the 25(OH)2 D test, not the 1,25(OH)2 D test.

Sometimes physicians order a test called the 1,25 (OH)2 D test.

This is the most potent or active form of vitamin D in the human body, but

according to Dr. Holick and Dr. Dawson , measuring 25(OH)2 D is a better

blood test for assessing vitamin D status and say, frankly that the 1,25(OH)2 D

blood test is " useless " in the assessment of vitamin D status.
