Vitamin D (25-OH) Blood Test

A private Vitamin D (25-OH) Blood Test at 117a Harley Street, London costs £108.75, with results usually in 1 day. Sample collection £50. This test measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main circulating form of vitamin D and the standard way to assess your vitamin D status.

Low levels are common in the UK, especially between October and March when sunlight is too weak for the skin to make enough.

No fasting is needed. If you already take a vitamin D supplement, keep taking it as usual unless a clinician has told you otherwise, so the result reflects your normal level.
