The NADAL® Vitamin D Quant Test is a lateral flow test for the quantitative determination of total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25-OH Vitamin D) in human fingerstick blood or serum. This assay is intended for use in screening for a Vitamin D deficiency. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) assays or other quantitative immunoassays are recommended to further confirm the diagnostic test results. The quantitative measurement and evaluation of the test result have to be carried out using the Colibri point-of-care reader. The test is for professional use only.
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone responsible for enhancing the intestinal absorption of calcium and the regulation of its homeostasis. The two common forms of Vitamin D are Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is naturally produced in the human skin through exposure to ultraviolet light whereas Vitamin D2 is mainly obtained from food. Vitamin D is transported to the liver where it is metabolised to 25-hydroxy Vitamin D. The 25-hydroxy Vitamin D blood test is used to determine Vitamin D concentration in the body. The blood concentration of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D is considered the best indicator of Vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is now recognised as a global epidemic. Virtually every cell in the human body has receptors for Vitamin D, meaning that they all require a sufficient Level of Vitamin D to function adequately. The health risks associated with Vitamin D deficiency are far more severe than previously thought. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various serious diseases: Osteoporosis, osteomalacia, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, pregnancy complications, diabetes, depression, strokes, autoimmune diseases, flu, COVID-19, infectious diseases, various cancers, alzheimer’s, obesity and higher mortality rates etc. As a result, measuring (25-OH) Vitamin D levels is now considered medically necessary, and maintaining sufficient levels is considered not just vital for improving bone health, but also overall health and well-being
