In an effort to prevent the fucked up January I had health
wise(sick twice) I have added an anti-oxidant addition to the daily optimal
routine. The evidence is overwhelming, should have started this much earlier.
But like joint support supplements, immune system supplements are something
that becomes lax because eventually having pain free joints and never getting
sick become your default state. You then start to think you’re a super hero and
will be fine without them, that’s when you don’t keep up , it bites you in the
ass and you realize that they were
actually providing benefits all along.
As a bodybuilder I take a lot of pre-workout, any good pre
workout will have a shit load of nitric
oxide boosters. Nitric oxide is a powerful free radical,
If you hit the pre workouts for any amount of time you will get burned
out and run down. A big part of this is
the free radicals wreaking havoc on the body. If your not familiar they are
associated with aging, inflammation, stroke and heart disease. Combined with
intense workouts, that’s a lot of bad shit floating around the bloodstream. The
pump N.O provides is too much too give up for me, so in an effort to balance
out the preworkout intake I will
increase the amount of flavonoids I intake. Particularly Pycnogenol which
quenches not only N.O molecules but other even more potent free radicals up to
and including radiation poisoning(the deadliest free radicals)
Pycnogenol is a combination of flavonoids derived from pine
bark, another great effect besides the powerful anti-free radical properties is
that it greatly increases the longvety and effectiveness of vitamin C, enhancing the immune system and
thus recovery.
So before giving it a permanent place in the routine I will
spend the next day researching then purchasing some form of these flavanoids.
After a month I will give my recommendation
