Abstract in brief

The systematic review and meta-analysis examined 30 randomized controlled trials involving 5615 individuals to assess the impact of vitamin D supplementation on skeletal muscle strength, mass, and power, revealing a small but significant improvement in muscle strength.
Results showed no significant effects of vitamin D on muscle mass or muscle power, but better outcomes in muscle strength were observed in people with low vitamin D levels (below 30 nmol/L) and those aged 65 and older.
Overall, vitamin D supplements have a modest positive effect on muscle strength, but further research is needed to determine the best doses, methods of administration, and treatment durations to maximize benefits.]
