Effect of cholecalciferol and calcium supplementation on muscle strength and energy metabolism in vitamin D‐deficient Asian Indians: a randomized, controlled trial

Abstract

Six months of cholecalciferol and calcium supplementation results in enhanced skeletal muscle strength and physical performance despite no change in muscle energy parameters. Cholecalciferol supplementation of 60,000 IU per month could not maintain 25(OH)D levels in the sufficient range.
