Tanning for Testosterone?

It looks like the latest effect of Vitamin D is an increase in testosterone for men!

According to the Natural Health News, researchers first spotted the dramatic effect of Vitamin D in testosterone by comparing testosterone levels in men over aver an extended period of time, nothing that they peaked in summer while they dropped significantly in the winter.   

"'Men who ensure that their body is at least sufficiently supplied with vitamin D are doing good for their testosterone levels and their libido among other things,' said Ad Brand of the Netherlands-based Sunlight Research Forum...Vitamin D is now known to not only help the body develop and maintain a healthy skeleton, but also to help regulate the immune system and prevent against chronic health conditions such as heart disease, dementia and cancer."
