The active form of Vitamin D is a steroid (actually a secosteroid) in the same way that testosterone is a steroid. While testosterone is a steroid hormone, Vitamin D is a pleomorphic steroid hormone.The case with vitamin D is quite different because natural vitamin D levels are about 50 ng/mL and since almost no one has such levels, extra vitamin D is not doping, it's just good to have for athletic peformance which might lead to why she wanted to test for Vitamin D.

Nope, in the US we have HIPAA and a Doctor can not release your medical information TO ANYONE without a court order. You could tell her to her face you are running a gram of test a day and all she can go is to stop telling to you come in. So you could even tell her what you want the blood tests for.

Good luck, hope everything turns out ok!
