Vitamin D Supplementation May Have Sex Health Benefits

Men who take vitamin D supplements might see improvements in their sexual health, according to a new study in the International Journal of Endocrinology. 

Past research suggests that men with vitamin D deficiency have poorer sexual function. This study aimed to confirm these findings and determine whether vitamin D supplements could help. 

Scientists looked at medical data from 114 men (median age 64) who were patients at the same andrology clinic.  They also analyzed data from a subgroup of 41 men who took vitamin D supplements and followed those patients for a year. 

Overall, higher levels of vitamin D were associated with higher levels of total testosterone and better sexual function. 

For the subgroup, men taking vitamin D had increased free and total testosterone levels and improved erectile function. 

Please see more information on the study here.
