The Claim
Elevated vitamin D levels promote muscle hypertrophy and shift metabolic energy partitioning from adipose storage to lean tissue accretion.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Having more vitamin D in your body might help you build more muscle and store less fat, directing your body’s energy toward making lean tissue instead.

What the research says
3 studiesThis study gave older women extra vitamin D and found their muscles got bigger, which supports the idea that more vitamin D helps build muscle instead of storing fat.
The study gave rats more vitamin D and found they grew more muscle and didn't gain more fat, which matches the idea that vitamin D helps build muscle instead of storing fat.
