Summary

This trial will look at how vitamin D3 affects blood pressure, sleep, and blood vessel function in young black women who are vitamin D deficient or insufficient.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adult black women aged 18-30 who have low vitamin D levels but are generally healthy. They shouldn't have chronic diseases, sleep disorders, obesity (BMI >30), high blood pressure, or be using tobacco. They also can't be pregnant, menopausal, recently affected by COVID-19 or taking certain medications.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing if taking a daily dose of 5,000 IU vitamin D3 for 8 weeks affects cardiovascular health in these women. They'll check changes in blood pressure, sleep patterns and blood vessel function at the start of the study and after 4 and 8 weeks of supplementation.
What are the potential side effects?
Vitamin D3 is usually safe but can sometimes cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, headache or increased calcium levels which might lead to kidney stones or other issues if taken excessively.
