Vitamin D
VDR — How strongly your cells respond to the vitamin D you already have.
VDR is the receptor your cells use to respond to vitamin D. Because of it, the same blood level of vitamin D can do a little more or a little less for two different people. The gene helps tune your response — it does not replace an actual blood test, which is still the thing that tells you your level.
What it influences
The honest picture.
- The vitamin D receptor in bone, immune and muscle cells.
- Changes how much a given vitamin D level does for you.
- Works alongside calcium and vitamin K.

What Indaga does with it
Indaga uses your VDR result to help interpret your vitamin D picture and suggest a sensible dose range — always paired with a real 25-OH-D blood test, never instead of one. Many DNA files do not cover this variant well; when that is the case, Indaga shows "Unknown" rather than inventing a number.
What you can do
Research supports vitamin D3 with K2, dosed to your actual blood level, with resistance and impact exercise to protect bone. Indaga matches suggestions to your data as wellness support — it is not treatment.
The honest bit
Indaga annotates. It does not diagnose.
A gene result is context, not a verdict. Indaga uses VDRto annotate the timing and choices in your daily plan — never to predict or diagnose a disease, and never as a red or green health grade. If your DNA file does not cover this variant, you see “Unknown,” not a guess.
