What does the Vitamin A Test measure?

This test measures blood levels of Vitamin A (retinol), a fat-soluble vitamin essential for immune function, vision, skin health, and reproductive health.

Why should I test my Vitamin A levels?

Vitamin A deficiency can lead to poor night vision, impaired immunity, and skin issues. Excess levels may also cause toxicity. Testing helps ensure your intake is appropriate.

How is the sample collected?

The test uses a dried blood spot (DBS) method. Just place a few drops of blood from a finger prick onto the card — no need for a clinic or lab visit.

Do I need to fast or stop supplements?

No fasting is required. However, avoid high-dose vitamin A supplements for 24 hours prior to testing for a more accurate baseline reading.

Is the test safe and easy to do at home?

Yes. It’s safe, simple, and clinically validated for at-home collection using a DBS card.

How accurate is this test?

Your sample is analysed using LC-MS/MS — the gold-standard method used in clinical laboratories for precision and accuracy.

How long until I receive results?

Results are typically available within 3–5 business days after your sample is received at the lab.

What’s included in the kit?

The kit includes a DBS card, lancet, alcohol pad, bandage, instructions, and a pre-paid return envelope. Your report includes your Vitamin A level and reference ranges.

Where is my Vitamin A Test analysed?

Samples from the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, are analysed in our accredited laboratory in Australia. Samples from Europe and the United Kingdom are processed in our certified EU laboratory, ensuring all results meet international clinical standards for accuracy and reliability.
