OT: Elite Athletes Are Being Given Vitamin D
I was told eight years ago by a prominent Doctor that I needed to take more Vitamin D after reviewing my "Vitamin D Blood Level" results -- which were low. He called it the "miracle vitamin." I take it every single day...
Well, look what a number of professional and major college programs are recommending for their athletes to avoid injuries -- VITAMIN D.
I worked closely with a former ND student-athlete who trained for the NFL Draft at the IMG Academy a few years ago. One of the things he was prescribed to begin taking was Vitamin D -- to prepare him for the Draft.
There is something here folks...
