The importance of vitamin D for bone health is now well-known and established. Scientific literature agrees in declaring a correct level of vitamin D essential for the prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and some autoimmune diseases.
More recent studies have also demonstrated the importance of vitamin D for athletes.
In case of deficiency, a reduction in metabolic functions and muscle strength can be observed, together with a significant increase in the risk of injuries.
Subjecting the athlete to periodic tests allows us to monitor the level of vitamin D and, in case of deficiency, to intervene promptly with the appropriate supplement.
Thanks to the rapid self-test, the test can be done directly by the athlete, without wasting time and with such frequency as to allow preventive action.
Check your vitamin D level with a quick self-test. It is perfect for monthly screening. In case of vitamin D deficiency, it facilitates proper supplement control.
