First Post
This is my first thread, so I thought better to pick an interesting topic that maybe can help other people to achieve higher strength levels, and better health.
I can speak from my own experience, vitamin D (together with other natural things) saved me from antidepressants, and cured my anxiety.
Other positive effect was my strength also improved after I started taking 10000-5000 NE vitamin D3 while I take also calcium, magnesium (magnesium very important while you take vitamin D, because your body need magnesium to activate vit D, I take magnesium-citrate in powder form), and K2 vitamin (important to prevent too high calcium levels in blood), and flexibility became better too.
Do not take calcium, and magnesium with the same "meal", cause that can decrase the absorption of magnesium.
I guess I had vitamin d deficiency, but I can not prove that with test yet, in next weeks I plan to take a blood test to find out how much my levels at the moment after taking 10000 NE daily dose, will share the results here.
I found a study related to the topic, proving the relation between vitamin D level and strength.
The elder people partipicating in this study were set in two groups, one group only got calcium+placebo tabs, other group calcium+vitamin D for 6 months.
The result was the following:

The elder people partipicating in this study were set in two groups, one group only got calcium+placebo tabs, other group calcium+vitamin D for 6 months.
The result was the following:
"Due to seasonal variations, serum 25(OH)D significantly enhanced in both groups after treatment, but the calcium/vitamin D group had significantly higher 25-(OH)D levels than the calcium/placebo group (84 vs. 33%,respectively; p!0.0001). No cases of hypercalcemia wereobserved. While the calcium/placebo group showed no im-provement in SHF and SKE at 6 months (p = 0.93 and p = 0.61, respectively), SHF was increased in the calcium/vitamin D group by 16.4% (p = 0.0001) and SKE by 24.6% (p = 0.0007).
Conclusions:
The suggested cholecalciferol supplementa-tion was safe and efficient in enhancing 25(OH)D levels and lower limb muscle strength in the elderly, in the absence of
any regular physical exercise practice."
(cholecalciferol = vitamin D3)
