copious and excessive amounts of supplemental antioxidants.

Absolutely.

The lab I was in as a graduate student did some of that original work on acetaminophen and things like that.

So I was around for a lot of those programs.

And then stuff came out on specifically things like vitamin C combined with vitamin E. Vitamin C in general, vitamin E, we want to default to food.

If we can get it from there, we do.

That's where we're looking for all of our nutrients.

Clear evidence, in my opinion, at this point, that antioxidant consumption from food has no detrimental effect on exercise adaptation.

Eat your blueberries to your heart's content, right?

Eat the cherries, eat whatever you want.

Never seen evidence to suggest that with blunt performance.

There is some evidence to suggest, though, when you take those as a supplement, again, a couple of studies that were vitamin C, vitamin E,

That's a great question.

I know.

It's like the hyperpower.

Yeah.

We use vitamin C very judiciously.

not to get us back there, but you start actually looking at iron, what it does when you co-ingest iron with vitamin C. If you're going to go after iron, you probably should bring vitamin C along.

You want to bring in collagen, probably should bring in vitamin C, super lower dosage, like 50 mg, right?

Like way down.
