Elecsys® Vitamin D total II

Allowing better patient care with results you can trust

Vitamin D has a proven impact on bone mineral density1. Desirable levels of 30 ng/mL have been shown to ­reduce the risk of falls2 and fractures3.

There is also growing scientific evidence linking the level of vitamin D (25-OH) to an increased risk of other indications such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases and different forms of cancer.4 The Elecsys Vitamin D total II assay aids in the assessment of vitamin D sufficiency.
