San Francisco, Ca., Nov. 3, 2014. Vita Optimum, a third-party tested provider of high quality vitamins and supplements, published today a new blog post aimed at providing information on how taking vitamin D and calcium could assist in healthy weight loss and maintenance. The article, entitled Losing Weight With Vitamin D and Calcium, features research and scientific studies that back the role of vitamin D and calcium in actively promoting weight loss. Specifically, the studies found that supplementation of these two nutrients has favorable effects on metabolism, increasing insulin sensitivity, and decreasing hunger.
"Vitamin D and calcium go hand in hand. Most commonly known, vitamin D makes calcium absorption possible. Without it, consuming calcium would be futile. That being said, it would make sense to assume that these two nutrients would also work together for countless other bodily processes," the article said. "Vitamin D regulates a number of functions in the body by having the ability to activate and deactivate several genes. Particularly, vitamin D plays significant roles in fat metabolism and the activation of hormones that impact this metabolism."
Citing a study from the International Journal of Obesity, the article also noted that vitamin D supplementation helped increase the magnitude of weight loss.
Vita Optimum's newest blog post, written by a U.S.-registered nutritionist, enumerated the various food sources for vitamin D and calcium and the many ways to maximize the benefits of these nutrients.
