Throw a Vitamin D Party with GrassrootsHealth
You can help solve the vitamin D deficiency epidemic by throwing a D*party. We will give you the tools you need to educate and help your guests test their own D levels. Not only will you be providing your guests with valuable health data, but also strengthening GrassrootsHealth research by expanding its vitamin D cohort.
Why should you do this?
Our last seminar was December, 2014. It attracted vitamin D enthusiasts, doctors, and researchers from all over the world. We offered testing to all who attended. And guess what? Even those that study and learn about vitamin D were deficient! (All those in red in the chart below.) It is eye opening to see the results of your first vitamin D measurement. When you make it easy for people to test (giving them the test and the reason for testing), you are helping them make a positive life change.

What’s the first step?
Accept the challenge! Find a location, time, and create a list of potential attendees. Invite as many people as you can, there is attrition both in accepting the invitation and in actually attending. Do not be shy in your invitations, you are serving the community with this information. Just think about how getting the word out could change the health of the people who attend. Can you have a D*party within the month of September? Do you have a friend who might? Our target is to have at least 10 D*party groups in September.
How do you sign up?
Just complete the D*party Host Sign Up form here, and we will get back to you right away for the next steps.
What do you do during a D*party?
As the host you can decide on refreshments and how to make everyone feel comfortable. A D*party would last no more than 2 hours. We recommend you show one video about vitamin D that suits your audience. These videos are typically 45 minutes long. After the video you can have a discussion and answer questions, and any questions that you can’t answer please send to us and we will provide responses that you can forward on to your attendees.
We will provide you with some test kits to have on hand to give attendees who want to find out their vitamin D blood level and join the fight against vitamin D deficiency (their payment for each test helps to fund vitamin D research). You could have a computer available to allow attendees to register with D*action, fill out their questionnaire, and pay online. Or, invite them to bring their own laptop. Then, you can hand them the test kit and they can prick their finger and send the test out from their home the next day.
What will GrassrootsHealth provide?
- Vitamin D blood spot test kits (tests will not be processed without payment)
- A set of Disease Incidence Prevention Charts, FAQs, and Call to D*action handouts
Host rewards
If five or more test kits are purchased through your D*party, each testing individual will receive a FREE bottle of Bio-Tech 5,000 IU vitamin D AND the party host will receive a FREE test kit and bottle of vitamin D! There will definitely be rewards for the first party in September, the one with the most attendees, the one with the highest average serum levels!
