Vitamin D supplementation is widely used. However, there is no consensus on the use and dosage of this supplement and the existing recommendations arise from studies based on the benefits that this nutrient can facilitate in bones. In addition, individual genetics can influence the response to supplementation, therefore, research involving monozygotic twins aims to reduce these differences in phenotypic responses. The objective of this randomised controlled study is to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on body composition and the expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRnA. An intervention was performed through supplementation with cholecalciferol at the concentration of 2000 IU in 90 healthy adult monozygotic twins (male or female pairs) for 2 months. The findings showed that serum vitamin D concentration increased by 65% and VDR gene expression sixty times (p = 0.001). Changes in body composition parameters were observed regarding body fat and lean mass. our results indicate that an increase in serum vitamin D concentration may have potential therapeutic implications. Supplementation with vitamin D (cholecalciferol) has become a widely used practice, since a relationship has been demonstrated of low levels of this nutrient with the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, the recurrence of diseases, and mortality 1,2,3. However, as there is no consensus on sufficient serum levels of vitamin D, taking into account its non-skeletal functions, it is necessary to assess whether the increase in this nutrient in individuals with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) levels above the current cutoff point, generates any health benefits 4. Vitamin D is involved in several non-skeletal functions, such as cell regulation, differentiation, and growth 3 , and adaptive and innate immunity control 5 , as well as being associated with inflammatory markers 6 , since the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in almost all human cells 7. The activity of this nutrient in the human organism involves its binding with VDR 8 , whose expression is modulated by the blood levels of the 1,25diidroxivitamin D (1,25 (OH) 2D) 9 and genetic variants 10. It is believed that there is a negative correlation between the concentration of 25 (OH) D with the body mass index (BMI) and percentage of fat mass 11. However, few studies have comprehensively evaluated the effect of
