Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 2200 IU (55 µg) Vegetable Capsules
Two studies looked at vitamin D and weight in older women and children. Both found those participants with more fat had lower vitamin D levels than those with less fat.
Researchers are currently unsure about whether low vitamin D contributes to obesity or vice versa. Diet, blood sugar control, and time spent outdoors may all play a role in a person’s weight.
Research suggests that vitamin D may help control blood sugar and improve insulin resistance in people with diabetes.
Unlike other essential vitamins, people can get vitamin D from sunlight. Safe exposure to the sun is the fastest way to top up vitamin D.
Foods that contain vitamin D include:
egg yolks
fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines
cod liver oil
beef liver
fortified dairy
fortified plant-based milk
fortified breakfast cereals
some types of mushrooms
If a person is overweight, vitamin supplementation alone may not improve weight. Weight loss has to come from lifestyle changes as well.
Nevertheless, a study in 2016 found that postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, eating vitamin D-fortified yogurt, improved their blood sugar levels and reduced inflammation. They also experience reduced waist size.
An older study found that taking calcium with added vitamin D together slightly reduced the risk of weight gain in postmenopausal women.
People should have their vitamin D levels checked annually and talk to their doctor about supplements if their levels remain low.
