Antioxidants Could Boost Muscle Strength
Researchers have found that a high intake of Vitamin C and E is linked to muscle strength preservation as you age, Reuters reports. Muscle strength naturally begins to wane when you're in your 40s, and it drops significantly after 60. The researchers studied more than 2,000 men and women in their 70s over two years. They examined the participants long-term eating habits and measured their grip strength at the beginning and end of the two-year period. The findings show a strong positive correlation between Vitamin C and E intake and greater muscle strength, regardless of individual participant strength levels at the outset.

i love these conflicting reports about vitamins and antioxidants and caffeine. having taken vitamin e for several years-400 i.u.'s i heard there was no evidence it did anything for you, and in fact was possibly dangerous in higher doses, so i stopped using it. now, what the hey do i do?
Flag ThisAs a medical professional, I would recommend that you eliminate all the vitamins and immediately being smoking.
Flag ThisI decided to move up from a simple multi-vitamin and decided to go with the best on the market, which is the Dr Max Powers "Anabolic Stack". The more I research, the more I realize it is a good idea to suppliment the diet with a good multi. Since I am the gym and working out quite a bit, I could justify stepping up to the Dr Max Anabolic Stack. I have been taking them for almost 3 weeks and seem to have additional energy. I have had no side effects at all and have gotten used to taking all the pills in the morning. I recommend this product for those that are active and want to ensure they are meeting all their vitamin and mineral needs. If this doesn't cover it.. nothing will!
