Does Vitamin D Cause Weight Loss?

Does Vitamin D Cause Weight Loss?: When it comes to weight loss, low levels of vitamin D are often observed in people who are overweight. It is thought that the hypothalamus (the very small part of your brain that regulates hormonal functions, amongst other things) senses low vitamin D levels and responds by increasing the body weight set point as well as the release of hunger-stimulating hormones. At the cellular level, vitamin D may also prevent the growth and maturation of fat cells.
