Abstrakt: The author discusses a study on vitamin D and bicarbonate supplementation reducing age-related loss of muscle. He informs that depletion of vitamin D resulted in metabolic acidosis whereas repletion resulted in a metabolic alkalosis by changes in renal tubule bicarbonate reabsorption. He states that vitamin D may enhance the muscle metabolic function and recommend diets high in fruits and vegetables to limit acidosis.
