Vitamin D’s Role in Bladder Health

Video transcribed below.

Research suggests that Vitamin D can have a significant impact on the detrusor muscle, the muscle responsible for bladder contraction, as the presence of Vitamin D receptors within the detrusor muscle indicates that Vitamin D may directly influence its function.


Studies link Vitamin D deficiency to issues like overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, potentially due to abnormal detrusor muscle activity. Supplementation with Vitamin D may help improve bladder control by regulating detrusor muscle function.


Supplementation with Vitamin D may help improve bladder control by regulating detrusor muscle function.

Key points about vitamin D and the detrusor muscle: 

  • Receptor presence: Vitamin D receptors are found within the detrusor muscle, allowing vitamin D to directly affect its function. 
  • Bladder function impact: Low Vitamin D levels are associated with impaired bladder function, including increased urgency and involuntary bladder contractions, potentially due to abnormal detrusor muscle activity. 
  • Potential treatment implications: Some studies suggest that Vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial for managing symptoms related to overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, by improving detrusor muscle function.
