Does Vitamin D Deficiency Cause Obesity or Vice Versa?

Summary:

These studies are promising, but prospective randomized trials are needed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation is a treatment option in preventing obesity. So far, vitamin D supplementation shows inconsistent results.

“It’s wise to have your practitioner check your Vitamin D level, if there’s concern.

Vitamin D is involved in a numerous cascade of chemical and physiological reactions. Having a compromised vitamin D status may impact the body including weight regulation, this is totally plausible.”
