We all know that vitamin D is essential for bone creation, reducing the risk of disease and chronic illness, and improving cognitive function and mood.
But vitamin D is also key to raising testosterone levels and increasing muscle mass. Vitamin D helps increase muscle mass by enhancing muscle contractions and protein synthesis.
And, guess what? Many people are vitamin D deficient. You should have your levels tested to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. Your healthcare professional can recommend appropriate supplementation levels.
Good dietary sources include salmon, sardines, and low-fat milk. Of course, we also synthesize vitamin D from sunshine. But it's still very difficult to get enough vitamin D without supplementation.
Be sure to take your supplement with some type of healthy fat for proper absorbtion.
