Right.

I don't know.

What I'm interested in is, okay, so you know a lot about

adaptations in terms of muscle adaptations, there's the cardiovascular adaptations, there's neural adaptations, right, that are happening as a consequence to the inflammation and the oxidation that we are causing from exercise that are important in those adaptations.

And so what you're wanting, you're not wanting to blunt those antioxidants and inflammatory signals that you're making.

So here's the case I'm trying to make.

I don't think people should be supplementing with anything above the RDA for vitamin E, alpha-tocopherol in general.

It's just you don't need 400 IUs of alpha-tocopherol.

But all these studies that are coupling...

Vitamin C with the vitamin E, it's like, hmm, well, are we seeing this because the vitamin E was there?

I think there was like one – maybe one study I recall.

I have a topic page on vitamin C. I think it's on that topic page.

And it was maybe 500 – maybe it was a gram.

I don't know.

But I don't – I just – again, it's like –

it's good to know because for one, I like to take high dose vitamin C when I've been exposed or when my son's been exposed.

It helps me.

And so it'd be nice to know for athletes as well.

It's like, okay, can I take that high dose vitamin C at a certain time?

Yeah, it would matter if it's every day, maybe you're getting 5% less over 20 years.
