Darryn Peterson Had Health Problems Because of Supplements
Introduction
Darryn Peterson played basketball for Kansas University. He had bad muscle pain during his first year. Now he knows why this happened.
Main Body
In September, Peterson had very bad muscle cramps. He went to the hospital. He felt very sick. After this, he was afraid. He left games early because he did not want the pain to return. Doctors checked his blood. They found that Peterson took too much creatine. This is a supplement for muscles. His body already had enough creatine, so the extra was bad for him. He changed his food and did special exercises to feel better. His coach also changed how he played to help him. Peterson still scored 20.2 points per game. But people did not know about his health. Some people thought he was not a great player. Before, people thought he was the number one pick for the NBA. Now, he is just one of the top players.
Conclusion
Peterson stopped taking the supplement. He is healthy now. He is getting ready for the NBA draft.
