Many negative reviews on Amazon regarding accuracy. Big differences between home test vs dr's office. You'd think they both use similar certified labs.
Would be helpful to have comparisons & scientific analysis of accuracy.

That’s not really testing at home if you have to mail it in for results. An At- home test is a pregnancy test.

Are the results measured in pg/mL or ng/mL?? I'm thinking about getting this kit because I have been on D3 for w a while due to osteoporosis. I just found out that my blood calcium is high and when the nurse practitioner ordered the Vitamin D test the results were in pg/mL instead of ng/mL and was within normal range for pg/mL. I usually see an endocrinologist for my osteoporosis and D levels, but she is out of state and due to Covid and other inconvenient situations, I can't get to her at this time... so i have to try another option which is this.

I hope you are prescribing Ivermectin, which is at least as important, if not more so, to prevent and treat covid. I am.

I took 200 000 UI of D3 (plus K2) for 2 days and I am perfectly fine.

Those doses of vit D seem very high. My doctor does not recommend that amount.

Don't take any Vit D w/o talking to your doctor first! Fair Warning! Do your homework!!! Go ahead, take the test, but talk to your doctor first.
