Splitting the Ds
Why there's no need for separation anxiety
In her latest blog, Christie Egeston, MS touches on the debate surrounding the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D, by asking "how much is too much and what is an 'optimal' level?" It is well known that vitamin D is "essential for supporting bone health" and decreasing risks for conditions such as cancer and depression. However, did you know that understanding the sources of patients' vitamin D levels can assist in the development of more effective treatment plans?
Read on as Egeston discusses the importance of measuring vitamin D2 and D3 separately, and why Metametrix advocates this split as a healthy one. Metametrix Enhanced Vitamin D Analysis
