Sport and Vitamin C

Abstract

We inhale oxygen to produce energy by oxidizing our food. However, almost 10% of the inhaled oxygen is escaped that basic route, and start to oxidize our bodies. This phenomenon referred to as “oxidative stress”. This, chemical stress, can be reduced, by higher Vitamin C concentration. Those who sport will inhale more oxygen and consequently, they have even higher “oxidative stress” and need substantially higher Vitamin C concentration. Since Vitamin C is not a drug, but only strengthening the human body, therefore, there is no danger if, for the sake of success, we take more Vitamin C, than, absolutely, necessary.
