It has been a while since I last did a Vitamin D update and my RSS feed has filled up with articles I’ve been saving up to do with Vitamin D.  In fact my RSS feed has been filling up with related articles on a few other topics too so this may well be the [...]

Blog-watch: Vitamin D again

March 3rd, 2011 · 5 Comments · Diet

It seems hardly any time since I last had a blog-watch on Vitamin D, but for some reason my RSS reader filled up with Vitamin D posts and articles during January.  I think one of the main reasons for this was that, with the northern hemisphere settled into the depths of winter, the horror stories [...]

December 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Diet

There’s a good chance that you noticed through December a lot of noise being made in the media and online about Vitamin D.  The bulk of the controversy was kicked off by a paper which suggested that we didn’t need as high a dosage of Vitamin D as is believed by some practitioners.  Now that [...]

Blog-watch: sunshine and Vitamin D

July 8th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Diet

Another blog-watch in the Vitamin D collection.  It seems that this is going to be a regular blog-watch theme, but there is so much new information always appearing about this particular vitamin and it appears to be so crucial to performance, that discussions about Vitamin D become central to a blog like this. I have [...]

Blog-watch: Vitamin D – more links!

I would like to apologise for doing yet another blog-watch on Vitamin D only three weeks after the last one.  Actually, no I’m not going to apologise.  Vitamin D is an important topic for everyone and especially for athletes since an enormous number of people are deficient and deficiency impacts heavily on performance. The only [...]

May 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Diet

I know, you’re probably all sick of reading me writing about Vitamin D.  After all, we had the Vitamin D blog-watch last autumn and then the Vitamin D post-winter review.  However there’ve been some very interesting articles recently and I’m convinced that vitamin D is such a crucial supplement, especially for those of us who [...]

Lessons learned: Vitamin D post-winter review

March 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Diet

Blog-watch: Vitamin D

October 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Diet

As promised, a blog-watch on Vitamin D (though just a scheduled one - after my mammoth cholesterol postings, I thought I’d wait until my usual blog-watch spot).  I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly noticed all the noise about Vitamin D over the last few months, finally topped off by a Testosterone Nation article by [...]
