The metabolism of these compounds in the body is based on a two-step hydroxylation process that leads to the formation of active metabolites. The quantitatively most dominant vitamin D metabolites include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Calcidiol, that is, 25 (OH) D as the sum of the concentrations of 25 (OH) D3 and 25 (OH) D2 - the basic parameter that determines the supply of vitamin D to the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Catabolite 24,25 (OH) 2D - a metabolite that determines the activity of an enzyme involved in the elimination of vitamin D from the bloodstream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eStatistics show that most of the Polish population is vitamin D deficient. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right dose of supplementation and to regularly monitor its effects on changes in vitamin D levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat distinguishes the study:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e It is the only study available on the Polish market that determines the concentration of the metabolites 25 (OH) D3 and 25 (OH) D2, as and catabolite 24.25 (OH) 2D3 and provides their interpretations. Its great advantage is the convenience and ease of collecting materials. Capillary blood is taken from the fingertip without visiting the collection point and the electronically signed result is sent by email.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe test is performed using the LC-MS\/MS technique (high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry). It uses the measurement of the molecular weight and structure of the substances tested, making it 100% specific and resistant to interference and cross-reactions that can occur with other methods available on the market. The laboratory participates in the international certification program for vitamin D metabolites (DEQAS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included in the kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e The kit contains: Collection instructions, 2 HTL Strefa lancets (one spare), 1 Munktell TFN paper, 2 sterile pads, 1 disposable disinfectant swab, plaster with bandage, 3 barcodes for labels and questionnaires, 1 zip bag with desiccant and 1 return envelope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTo run the test:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eLabel the blotting paper and the declaration with the same barcode (a copy of the code is left for the patient).
