Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether high-dose vitamin D (50,000 IU once a month) can improve muscle health in adults aged 21-65 who have low vitamin D levels after surgery. The study will measure vitamin D levels at 3, 6, and 12 months. If successful, it could point to a simple way to support recovery and quality of life after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Vitamin D (high-dose oral supplement, 50,000 IU once per month)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that high-dose vitamin D helps maintain muscle health and speed recovery after surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. High-dose vitamin D can cause side effects like kidney stones or high calcium levels.
