Foods For Athletes was founded by former two time college All-American, USFL and NFL tight end Darren Long. In 1982 he led the NCAA in receptions by a tight end and was 2nd overall in receptions in a single season. He has played alongside NFL Hall of Fame athletes such as Steve Young and Erik Dickerson. Yet years of training, hard hits, poor diet choices and mineral deficiencies had taken their toll. At the age of 45 Darren didn’t want to live anymore; he had no energy, was sick all the time, had arthritis throughout his body and had continuous aches and pains. His wife had cancer, and he was told his youngest son could not go to school unless they put him on medication for ADHD and facial tics. He began searching for natural alternatives and first discovered probiotics, and one in particular profoundly affected him and his family’s health. He continued researching, and became intrigued with Humic/Fulvic Minerals. After meeting with world renowned natural scientists in the field of microbiology, enzymology and biochemistry, he began testing and experimenting with numerous samples from all over the world. He was impressed with the effectiveness and chemical profile of one of the many he received. It is the purest Humic and Fulvic ever laboratory tested to date. It comes from a remote area which was once a forest of trees that was buried, composted, and broken down into pure Humic/Fulvic Minerals. He combined his probiotic strain with the Humic/Fulvic Minerals and created a proprietary blend unparalleled in nutrition and supplement history.
Through the use of this proprietary blend, BlackMP, Darren Long’s health and energy has turned around 100%. He has experienced the complete removal of his arthritis, all aches and pains, his varicose veins are completely gone, and he has never slept better. He has even had the natural brown come back to his once grey hair. His wife is absolutely cancer free, with no trace whatsoever in her body. And lastly, his son, for whom he started this mission, no longer has as any facial tics or ADHD. They are all models of health in every conceivable way.
Darren Long is a former professional athlete, a businessman, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a mentor. But at his core, Darren Long is a man who was once sick and has found lasting health and wellness. His passion is to carry this message; to educate the world on proper nutrition, Humic/Fulvic minerals and probiotics, and to help people reclaim their health and lives. In 2013 Darren created Foods For Athletes, a health and wellness company geared towards giving people a roadmap to healthy living.
“I decided I needed to pass the word on about probiotics and minerals. They have helped me so much, it has become my passion and mission to educate others on the importance of probiotics and minerals.”
