Short (this time) article about the above....

Awesome, Kel. Thanks for posting.

Do they communicate directly with you or something? This is posted just hours ago! lol.

Thanks again, even more reason to supplement the hormone.

interesting to say the least... just one more reason to support vitamin D at "high" levels at best too.

for what its worth, my vitamin D was in the tank but my IGF was pretty decent way back when...

vitamin D seems to be one of the few staple supplements that I can continue to justify.

Not a fan of tanning beds. Prolonged use and you'll look like an old catcher's mitt.

I'm not a fan of the sun or tanning beds! Vitamin D3 has me in the upper range all while relaxing in doors with the AC :-P
