Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that inhibit oxidation, protecting organs and tissues from the negative effects of aggressive radicals. In sports nutrition , antioxidants reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, which speeds up the recovery process after exhausting physical exertion.

During and after the training process, a lot of toxic substances are formed in the body of an athlete that damage the muscles and vital organs. Among the best-known free radicals, nitrogenous molecules are the most harmful - they most pronouncedly damage cell membranes.

A person who is not subject to regular physical activity has enough antioxidants from ordinary food. A huge amount is found in berries and fruits. However, with age, the need increases significantly. This is due to the slowdown in metabolic processes. Getting this amount of antioxidants from the gifts of nature is quite difficult. And if a person regularly visits the gym, the use of antioxidants is simply necessary. In addition to the daily allowance, the normal dose increases due to damage to muscle fibers. It does not matter what sports goals the athlete sets for himself.

Recommendations for the use of antioxidants are indicated by the manufacturer of sports nutrition on the packaging. However, in most cases, the intake of antioxidants depends on the origin. For example, the daily norm of vitamin C is 500-1000 mg, and selenium - 50-100 mg. It should be noted that most vitamins have antioxidant properties. A wide selection of antioxidants allows you to choose a product for the intended purpose.

After the end of the course of taking antioxidants, a surge of energy appears, an increase in strength and speed-strength indicators. Girls and women, taking the most famous antioxidant coenzyme Q10, notice a decrease in wrinkles, strengthening the hair shaft, the skin becomes several years younger. Elderly people, taking antioxidants, leave only positive feedback - this is not a drug, but the work of the cardiovascular system improves.
