In order to increase stamina with citric acid cycle food acids, doses of a few grams to several grams are required. The compounds are water soluble and, therefore, are excreted rapidly from the body. In our personal experiments, we have taken them every three or four hours for the duration of the athletic performance. » […]

I want to be the best-built man in the world, I said frankly. —Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder There are two different types of athletic performance: 1) stamina, and 2) peak output. Stamina depends on the ability of your muscles to put out energy for a prolonged period of time. Peak output, […]

PIC HERE Because of the toxicity of high concentrations of oxygen (via free radical mechanisms), hyperbaric oxygen (higher than normal atmospheric pressure) should be used with great caution. In very short repeated exposures it is possible that free radical destroying enzymes, such as SOD, may be induced to higher levels, thus increasing the patient’s overall […]
Although the work was directed at amyloid formation, data was also cited that showed the pronounced beneficial effect on the mice’s mortality rate by adding Santoquin antioxidant to the diet. Without the antioxidant in the diet, 20% survived to 1814 months; on diets with 0.2% Santoquin, 20% survived for 23 months. This was not the […]
Mutations to your DNA caused by free radicals are a major cause of cancer. Free radicals can make blood clot abnormally in our arteries by destroying our body’s ability to make PGI, (prostacyclin), a natural anti-clot hormone found in healthy arteries. Free radicals are also implicated in arthritis. Most of the brain damage caused by […]
Proteins are complex molecules, made up of amino acids, which perform a wide variety of functions in the human body, from chemical reaction-controlling enzymes, to structural molecules like collagen, to necessary components in human memory. In order to function properly, proteins must assume a correct three-dimensional configuration. In their proper shape, some proteins act as […]
