They found that men with high blood vitamin D levels have significantly higher testosterone levels than men with less vitamin D.
“Men who ensure that their body is at least sufficiently supplied with vitamin D are doing good for their testosterone levels and their libido,” said Ad Brand, of the Sunlight Research Forum, in Holland.
