25-hydroxy vitamin D test with home collection in South Delhi — NABL-accredited, no fasting needed, report in 24 hours, with a correction plan when needed.
Over 70% of urban Indian adults are vitamin D deficient. Symptoms — fatigue, joint pain, muscle weakness, low mood, poor sleep, hair fall — are often blamed on other causes. Untreated deficiency also compounds insulin resistance and bone loss.
Phlebotomist visits between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM (or a later slot if needed — no fasting required). Report by end of next day. Bundle with B12, TSH and HbA1c for a full 'why am I always tired' panel.
For deficient patients (<20 ng/mL): 60,000 IU cholecalciferol weekly for 8–12 weeks. For insufficient (20–29): 60,000 IU fortnightly. Retest at 8–12 weeks. Maintenance: 1,000–2,000 IU daily. Not one-and-done.
Symptomatic deficiency, bone pain, fractures, resistant deficiency despite correction, or values below 10 ng/mL warrant a physician review — often with calcium, phosphate, PTH and alkaline phosphatase to rule out osteomalacia or malabsorption.
