Can liquid vitamin d3 help with insulin production?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No evidence or basis: to believe this. D3 a helper for calcium absorption from intestines & bone formation, small role muscle strength & immune system function (poorly understood) & ? slight role in depressed mood. To my awareness, no role in Beta cell function, the cells which make & secrete insulin+amylin (always in a fixed ratio) or Alpha cell function to make & secrete glucagon, much less other glcose regulations

Indirectly: Adequate levels of Vitamin D should be between 60 & 80 & not 30 as most labs report. So check your levels. Yes Vitamin D helps with lowering insulin resistance
