topicVitamin D Sleep Latency Randomized Trial
claimVitamin D insufficiency has been associated with increased risk of musculoskeletal injury, and interventional studies in a small population of dancers suggest potential reductions in injury incidence and enhanced muscle function with supplementation, although dancer-specific evidence remains scarce ().

topicVitamin D Sleep Latency Randomized Trial
claimContemporary meta-analyses and systematic reviews in athletes found that NSAIDs do not reliably improve neuromuscular performance or recovery and their routine prophylactic use is not supported as an ergogenic strategy (), even though recent evidence highlights the potential hypertrophy benefits ().

topicVitamin D Sleep Latency Randomized Trial
claimFailure to meet the recommended 7-9 hours of restful sleep per night is known to increase the risk of several health conditions, reason why regular and adequate sleep should be seen as a priority instead of an unnecessary commodity easily traded as required by the commitments of our busy lives.

topicVitamin D Sleep Latency Randomized Trial
claimWhile both the quantity and the quality of sleep can be largely improved with relatively straightforward practices dictated by good sleep hygiene, emerging research suggests that dietary and supplementation protocols focused on certain foods, nutrients, and biochemical compounds with sleep-promoting properties can act as subsidiary sleep aids in complementing these behavioral changes.

claimThe scope of this narrative review is to summarize the available evidence on the potential benefits of selected nutraceuticals in the context of circadian rhythm and sleep disturbances, namely melatonin, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, tart cherry juice, kiwifruit, apigenin, valerian root, L-theanine, glycine, ashwagandha, myoinositol, Rhodiola rosea, and phosphatidylserine.
