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 [...]

Another blog-watch in the Vitamin D collection.

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 [...]

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 [...]
