Effect of calcifediol and cholecalciferol on muscle function in postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
Brief rationale: Limited evidence exists on calcifediol’s effect on lower extremity function in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Main result: Calcifediol (20 µg/day) showed no greater benefit than vitamin D3 (3200 IU/day) or placebo.
