Vitamin D Helps Quicken Post-Workout Recovery

---

As an athlete you take your routine seriously, planning out your pre-workout meals, customizing your supplements, and regularly switching up your exercise routine. But are you preparing for recovery before you workout? 

A recent study by The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital (TOSH) just might hold the key to help you bounce back faster. The study revealed that increased levels of vitamin D pre-workout decreased skeletal muscular weakness after an intense bout of exercise. In other words, taking vitamin D before you exercise can help you recover more quickly afterwards, making it the perfect supplement to pair with your workout.

This is just one more reason to add vitamin D to your daily regimen. Want a little reminder of other reasons you should take this supplement? Research has revealed that vitamin D supports healthy bones, heart and immune function, muscle strength, and even healthy glucose levels in the normal range.

Fortunately, vitamin D can be picked up from the sun during your outdoor activities, but just because it’s sunny out doesn’t mean you’re getting the proper amount of “the sunshine vitamin.” In fact, deficiency is common during the summer months as people neglect vitamin D supplementation but still don’t get enough vitamin D-producing sunlight. Don’t fall into the trap—make sure you maintain your vitamin D levels all year long to ensure you are getting the proper amount of nutrients for your body, especially when you exercise.
