A member asked:

Can raising my vitamin d levels help me lose some excess weight?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Vitamin D: It is unlikely that raising your vitamin D level will cause you to lose weight. Vitamin D is used in the operation of about 350 genes, but is not directly related to metabolism.
