This quick quiz can help you determine if your daily habits are more or less likely to be supporting and maintaining healthy vitamin D levels

Key Points

To help educate individuals about their unique risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and to highlight when testing may be of extra importance, GrassrootsHealth created The Vitamin D Deficiency Risk Assessment Quiz (Beta), a short set of questions about an individual’s supplemental vitamin D intake, UVB exposure, and low exposure indicators to assess risk level of having a low, moderate, or high risk of having a vitamin D level below the scientists’ recommended minimum of 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L)
Based on all the factors considered, the role of midday sunshine and UVB exposure proved to have a large influence on an individual’s vitamin D level, demonstrating the importance of exposure to UVB for vitamin D status, and highlighting the need for vitamin D supplementation when one does not meet their daily UVB requirements
Receive the full benefits of vitamin D and sunshine by getting to know your vitamin D level first, followed by learning how to create a healthy supplement and sunshine or UVB exposure routine based on your unique individual factors
