Active adult representing VDR vitamin D receptor and muscle performance genetics — PlexusDx Precision Peptide Genetic Test

Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Muscle Performance

Vitamin D levels get all the attention — but VDR, the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor, determines whether those levels actually translate into muscle function. VDR variants influence protein synthesis, calcium handling, and satellite cell activity. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes VDR as one of 15 Muscle Growth insights across 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights.
