Get the Burn Fat, Build Muscle: Supplement Guide:
Research by the University of Southern California shows a strong inverse relationship between muscle fat percentage and Vitamin D status. Research indicates that as vitamin D levels go up, fat levels go down.
Furthermore, insufficient levels of vitamin D leads to more fatty muscle tissue in the body. Vitamin D counteracts this problem by reducing the amount of fat infiltration into the muscles.
Research published in the journal Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease examined 116 healthy people. The study analyzed the effect of active vitamin D on muscle size and strength. After the study, researchers found that high levels of active vitamin D increased strength in both the upper body and lower body.
Muscle biopsies also found that women with low levels of body fat were less prone to vitamin D deficiency. Furthermore, individuals with high amounts of lean muscle mass had higher levels of active vitamin D in their bodies.
An examination of the relationship between vitamin D and testosterone found that increasing vitamin D concentrations increased testosterone levels. Men who took a daily dose of 3,332 IU’s of vitamin D for a year experienced a 25.2% increase in testosterone compared to men who didn’t take vitamin D.
Note: IU stands for International Unit. One microgram of vitamin D equals 40 IU. IU is used by pharmacists to measure the potency, or biological activity of vitamin D because vitamin D exists in two forms: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
