Why We Love Vitamin D

Hey fitness fanatics!

Our discussion today covers one of our favorite vitamins: Vitamin D. A literature review from Baylor University in Waco, Texas suggests that high intake of vitamin D could increase muscle function and testosterone levels, boost strength and power, and improve recovery times after exercising. Vitamin D receptors are all over your body – almost every tissue has them, and they influence over 900 genes. Some studies have noted athletic improvements between 1.4 and 19 percent with vitamin D supplementation between 4,000 and 5,000 IUs daily. Although there is technically no upper limit to vitamin D supplementation, you should talk to your doctor first before starting a vitamin D regimen of your own. Vitamin D levels can be easily checked, and your doctor can help you find the right number of IUs to improve your performance.
