| The Alchemist | Anybody who says antioxidants are no good is a fool. What do you think would happen to our cells if we got no antioxidants? I just want to point out the things like vit C and E are all good, but the real power is in phytonutrients like anthocyanins (sp?). So have your fresh dark berries such as cherries, boysenberries, blue berries and just about any plant that is colorful all the way through its flesh. I also want to point out that going above 400iu of E can turn pro-oxidant and taking ascobic acid (vit C) is not nearly as effective as taking mineral ascorbates. Low dose (~200mg) r-ALA is also nice for preserving antioxidants I think. Seriously though, phytonutrients is still where it's all at. |

| Registered User | I occasionally eat this Kashi cereal called "Heart to Heart" that has Green Tea and Grape Seed extract in it, among a bunch of other good things. I also supplement with Green Tea. |

| Gold Member | It is difficult for me to tell the exact affect that antioxidants are having on my body. I have been using C for a few weeks. I just started using NAC and KR-ALA yesterday. Looks like I might be getting some E to go along with it. |

| Registered User | I work at a vitamin world, and I was ready to start useing green tea bec of all of its fat burning properties, plus its positive health effects. Then I read an article about its natural ability to " Lower Testosterone Levels." I dont know if anyones done any more research or anything on how signifintaly it effects t levels but i'm gonna start checking up now. |

| Registered User | Changed my life. From ages 5-16 whenever I would get a cold or flu (probably once every 3-4 months), they would always last for like 2-3 weeks. I started bodybuilding around the age of 15 and learned a lot about vitamins minerals. Now whenever I get a cold or flu, I take 2g of vitamin C and 1 multivitamin every 2-3 hours until I goto bed. Mind you, I only take those doses when I'm sick. I know it sounds like overkill but I have never been sick for over 3 days since I was 16 years old using these kinds of regimines. Not once. You can check out my current age next to my post count. If that ain't a miracle, I don't know what is! |

| Registered User | Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who gets a rather unpleasent (for lack of a less graphic term) anal discharge when taking larger doses of green tea extract? I start dosing around 1 g at a time, and it gets not so fun. Seems if I stick to around 330 mg at a time that I'm okay. It took me a long while to figure out what was going on, but when I dropped the green tea extract, the problem disappears. Start it up, bang. I still use it. I definitely like its effects. I also supp with vitamin C and E, though I don't really notice their effects. |

| Banned | Yeah, green tea does something strange to me also when I take too much at a time. ALA is also another one that one should be careful about. A few weeks ago I had bouts of nausea and about zero appetite (well, this part MIGHT be useful) because I was having 2.4g of ALA (not the r-ALA). Reduced the dose to about 1.5 to 1.8 gram a day and I'm good. mtruther, I'm guessing if you STOPPED using C and E for a week or so, you would notice the effect THEN. If you train hard, that is. |

| Registered User | In theory and application protandim sounds good, some of these supps have unpleaseant sides for some people, mostly gastrointestinal in nature. A person has to experiment and see what works for them and remember to take breaks from all supps on a regular basis IMO |

| I Know Nothing!! Board Moderator | That's not a bad price all things considered. I just mixed up a custom blend of Bilberry, Grapeseed, Broccoli Extract and SOD..that was expensive. I took several doses of plain SOD and wow, you can feel it go to work not unlike that very first dose of grapeseed extract. I'll probably just go with Life Extension's Mix from now on. That would save me buying multiple bottles of stuff..vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It's expensive but it is very highly regarded. I AM watching you. |
