No effect of monthly supplementation with vitamin D in older people
- chiefalchemist 7y agoThe abstract says "muscle function." In the keywords is "grip strenght". As I watch my parents age, balance (read: primarily legs) is far more important than grip strenght. Some can get hurt falling in the shower. No one has been hospitalized for not being to open a jar of jelly.
- mark_l_watson 7y agoI have a difficult time believing this because two years ago I started losing energy and was not feeling as well as I had been. My doctor ran some tests, put me on D3 supplements, and within one week I started feeling more energetic and after a month I was back to feeling well. My wife was then also tested, with the same result. I believe there is enough evidence that D3 helps brain health, balance, and energy levels to make it worthwhile to take supplemental D3.
