00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how too many anti oxidant supplements might be bad for you. There is some growing evidence that anti-oxidants in capsule form might impair muscle function over time. Ingesting lots of anti-oxidants might throw off the balance between the pro-oxidants in your body and cause problems. The research only looked at anti-oxidant supplements that might suppress some good stuff in your blood. So be on the safe side and eat more anti-oxidant rich foods rather than take supplements for them. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
