SEEMA GUPTA: <\/strong><em>  It is similar to the pregnancy test. Pregnancy test is done in urine, but this test will be done in blood. So you just require a drop of blood from your finger.   It&rsquo;s a very small kit.  It&rsquo;s like just a test strip and then there is a dropper which you use to take a drop of the blood from your finger. And then there is another small dropper bottle and you just put six drops of the solution that&rsquo;s in the dropper bottle, wait for ten minutes, and it shows  you whether you are deficient in Vitamin D or you&rsquo;re not.  <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> According to <strong>Dr. Seema Gupta,<\/strong> clinical trials are underway.   But once approved for sale, <strong>Test4D<\/strong> will significantly reduce the cost of testing for Vitamin D deficiency.    <\/p>\n<p><em> Thanks today to <strong>ACAMP and Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/strong><\/em><strong>  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/> I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\">Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Alberta Innovates launched its consolidation on November 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_off et_pb_image_5 et_always_center_on_mobile et_pb_image_sticky et-animated\"> \t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/albertainnovates.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/tech_futures_v2_icon.png\" \/> \t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>780-450-5111<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\/\">albertatechfutures.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>250 Karl Clark Road,<br \/>Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<br \/>T6N 1E4<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/AI_Tech_RGB_smallForWeb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-11-03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deficiency in <strong>Vitamin D<\/strong> has been linked to several health problems, including cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, depression, and even Alzheimer&rsquo;s.
