A recent study as published in ‘Clinical Interventions in Aging’ outlines the importance of Vitamin D status in preserving muscle function in the aging population. The study assessed the correlation between serum levels and muscle strength and performance among a cohort of older adults in community-dwelling.
Vitamin D is found in foods like eggs, liver and oily fish. It is also produced by the skin upon exposure to the sun. In Ireland and the UK the climate and the lack of daily sunshine poses a challenge. Supplementation may help to counter act deficiency and ultimately protect skeletal muscle functioning in the aging.

Macanta Vitamin D and New Vistas Vitamin D Liquescence are popular remedies recommended by CAM Providers.
