BetterYouTM and ZRT now offer a simple, convenient and accurate test for screening Vitamin D levels. Results are sent directly to your home with expert interpretation by David Brassey from Synergy Natural Health and Fitness Centre.

Declining levels do not necessarily show symptoms: Many physicians are responding to recent research linking a variety of disease states and general wellness to vitamin D levels.  Vitamin D deficiency (levels measured below 40 ng/ml) does not necessarily show obvious symptoms. Growing research suggests that insufficient levels of vitamin D can increase your risk of a poor immune system, leading to coughs, colds and flu as well as more serious diseases.

Vitamin D testing made simple: ZRT has developed and refined Vitamin D testing (both D2 & D3) in the comfort of your own home.  A few drops of blood from a quick and painless nick of the finger are all that is required.

What We Recommend:  If you have little UVB exposure, particularly during Winter months, our advice is as follows:  Everyone should be supplementing at least 1,000 IU vitamin D3 per every 25kg of body weight which means that adults and adolescents should certainly aim to take 2-3,000 IU per day during the Winter months. Around 2-3 months later consider a second 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test to monitor progression.

Test as often as you feel the need to, just remember, no one can experience toxicity on the doses recommended above and some people will need even more. Your report will tell you everything you need to know.

Results in 10-14 days with FULL results interpretation by a professional nutritional advisor.

Vitamin D testing made simple: ZRT has developed and refined Vitamin D testing (both D2 & D3) in dried blood spots.  A few drops of blood from a quick and painless nick of the finger are placed on a filter paper to dry.  This can be performed easily in the convenience of your own home with an ingeniously designed lancet. IT REALLY IS PAINLESS!

Using cutting edge technology ZRT Laboratory offers reliable, minimally invasive tests covering a range of current health care issues. Our nutritional advisor and vitamin D expert, Dr David Brassey, will then interpret the results (which you receive in full) and advise you what, if any, action should be taken.

It couldn't be simpler! The pack contains full, very easy to follow intructions and everything you need to test your vitamin D levels.

The finger prick is absolutely painless (yes, we've all done it!) and a very clever little device. Once you've collected 5-6 spots of blood on the collecting paper simply let it dry and then send it off using the pre-addressed envelope. Just leave the rest to us. It really is that simple!

The only way to know if you're getting enough vitamin D is to get tested. BetterYou is proud to use the ZRT Laboratory to provide an easy-to-use and painless home test.

The results might surprise you. Case in point: Here's how a few tests came out in September - the results certainly surprised us!

*Andrew is an asthmatic. Supplementing with DLux1000, 3-4 sprays daily. As a rough guide we find it takes an additional 1000 IU per day for a single month to raise blood levels by 10 units. However, if you are found to be very low a greater daily dosage is advised.
