| At Leicester Tigers love Jarrow Formulas Green Tea | 22nd October 2011
|
A fundamental pre-requisite of success for elite rugby union forwards is work capacity, which is influenced by body composition. There is peer review literature to suggest that the latter is augmented by fish oil that contains a high concentration of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
More specifically, it may increase fat utilization and decrease storage. “There is evidence to suggest that a nutrient contained in
Jarrow Formulas Green Tea may increase energy expenditure, fat oxidation and weight loss.
Furthermore, it’s considered a general wellbeing nutrient.
At Leicester Tigers we particularly like Jarrow Formulas
product owing to its purity and potency.”

| Vitamin D | 24th August 2010
|
 |
It is essential to maintain vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from fetal development to old age. Vitamin D helps protect a number of important functions in the body. The current recommended daily vitamin D intake is 200-600iu is based on the minimum allowance to protect against bone disease. However, an upward revision of
the FDA’s guideline is now under consideration in light of new research, especially pertaining to immune function. Although direct sunlight exposure is a good source of vitamin D, many people do not get enough sun due to season change, latitude or lifestyle. Therefore vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these cases.
The Vitamin D Council (VDC) is a non-profit organisation of medical professionals, vitamin D researchers, and concerned citizens whose goal it is to educate
professionals and the public on vitamin D deficiency and its associated health risks. They recommend that infants
and children under age one receive 1,000iu/day vitamin D3. This is especially important for breast-fed infants as breast milk contains very little vitamin D. The VDC says the exceptions to this are if the lactating mother is taking sufficient vitamin D (4,000-6,000iu/day) to produce vitamin D rich breast milk or the child is exposed to sufficient sunlight. They recommend 600iu/day for formula-fed
infants. The VDC goes on to recommend 1,000iu/25 lb body weight/day for children over age one. Children age 10 and above, according the VDC, should follow recommendations.
The VDC recommends an average of 5,000iu /day vitamin D for adults.
