An Austrian study has revealed that testosterone is boosted by vitamin D. The bulk of this essential nutrient is made by the skin on exposure to sunlight.
According to researchers, sunbathing boosts the male sex drive. Scientists at the Medical University of Graz discovered that men with more vitamin D in their blood had more testosterone than men with less levels of the main male sexual hormone.
The study shows that blood levels of both dipped in the winter and peaked in the summer. Low testosterone levels may impact on a man’s libido.
A spokesman for the Sunlight Research Forum said, “Men who ensure their body is at least sufficiently supplied with Vitamin D are doing well for their testosterone levels and their libido among other things”.
