Despite usually focusing on human studies John brings in the petri dish today. Tune in for some groundbreaking initial work that helps us better understand exactly why we should care about our vitamin D status if we want optimal muscle gains. All areas of human research usually have to start with cells and/or in animals...take pride in being informed of the cutting edge! Maybe listeners who are researchers would even be interested in expanding upon this research! John always reviews the full text of every article, but to see the abstract of the study discussed, click here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23825120.
If you're considering working to optimize your blood vitamin D level I caution you to read this article to broaden your perspective and make an informed decision:
