May is Sunshine Month, so it is a great time to talk about Vitamin D and the importance of testing. Currently, there is no universally agreed upon “optimal” Vitamin D range but at OmegaQuant, we recommend aiming for a level of at least 30-50 ng/mL. How did we arrive at this range? Join us for our next webinar where we will dive into the technical details of our Vitamin D Test.
Course Overview:
- Why Vitamin D is important
- Why people should regularly test their Vitamin D level
- How OmegaQuant measures Vitamin D from a dried blood spot
- What it means that Vitamin D Testing is not a standardized test
This webinar is approved for 1.0 CEU hours from CDR for RDs and DTRs
