FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)


How does vitamin D affect insulin resistance?

Vitamin D plays a role in regulating insulin sensitivity. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

What are the sources of vitamin D?

Vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight exposure, certain foods, and supplements. Sunlight triggers the production of vitamin D in the skin, while dietary sources include fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and egg yolks.

Can increasing vitamin D intake improve insulin resistance?

While studies have suggested a link between low vitamin D levels and insulin resistance, more research is needed to determine whether increasing vitamin D intake can directly improve insulin resistance in individuals with metabolic syndrome.
