In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 228 young, healthy adult males took 60,000 IU or placebo weekly for 8 weeks. There were also calcium and combination groups.
There wasn't a notable difference between vitamin D and placebo for BMI, ALP, albumin, serum iPTH, testosterone, handgrip strength, pinch strength, SHBG or walking.
Vitamin D levels at baseline were 21.5 (9.5) nmol/l.
