Vitamin D and Sports


"According to The Vitamin D Council Executive Director Dr. John Cannell, the Blackhawks are “the first Vitamin D team in modern professional sports history.” According to his sources, most of the Chicago Blackhawks players are taking 5,000 IU of Vitamin D daily to deal with a myriad of deficiency issues the team physicians had observed. Their sudden improved play from mediocre to title contender is capturing the attention of the sports world like no other story right now. Although I’m not a current pro hockey fan, I think I might be watching to see how the Chicago Blackhawks do in the Stanley Cup.
Improved athletic play and quick recovery from injuries are two of the tell-tale signs that Vitamin D levels are at their proper levels. It can boost physical performance and improve athletic performance although this has been known for more than three years. It’s exciting to think that taking a simple and inexpensive supplement like Vitamin D3 gel caps could be responsible for the Chicago Blackhawks adding another Stanley Cup championship their banner in 2010, but the odds are 4/11 that they will do just that! Perhaps this will start a Vitamin D revolution that is sorely needed if we want to do something about the chronic health problems usually attributed to fibromyalgia, hypertension, and other ailments. Can you imagine if they’d combine low-carb nutrition with their Vitamin D supplementation? The possibilities would be limitless!"
