Exercise & the Antioxidant Network

I’d like to add BBB’s “energy ‘rejuvenation’ protocol” originally posted in the “Energy and Dealing With Fatigue” thread (link below).

Take at least 300mg of co-Q10 every day for at least 3 months.

Simple and surprisingly effective (in my case).

Although he comments that “[quote] anti-oxidants do play an increadibly vital role in preventing oxidative cellular damage…[but] they are not as critical to cellular energy production as mitochondrial rejuventation (which is what the Q10 protocol does), though of course, reducing Ox damage will enable greater mitochondrial health[/quote],” there is a direct relationship between antioxidants and mitochondrial rejuvenation, ala “Quercetin Increases Brain and Muscle Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Exercise Tolerance” which shows an in vivo effect (link - http://www.frs.com/science/MitochondriaScientificStudy.pdf ).
