OXIDATIVE STRESS
Prevention
OXIDATIVE STRESS
Your genetics unfortunately only offer you little protection against oxidative stress and
therefore, free radicals in your body can only be removed very slowly. In addition, the sportrelated
increase in free radical production increases your oxidative stress even more. For this
reason, you should counteract with a very high dose of antioxidant supplements to protect
your cells and tissue. The results of this paragraph will later be considered in the “Optimal
Supply of Micro-nutrients” section.
COENZYME Q10 MECHANISM
The co-enzyme Q10 micro-nutrient must be converted to the active ubiquinol form by a gene to
be able to protect you from free radicals. Your gene functions normally, and you can therefore
use co-enzyme Q10 as an effective antioxidant.
SELENIUM NEEDS
The GPX1 gene protects your body against a certain kind of free radicals, but can be impaired by
a common genetic variation. Studies have shown that impaired GPX1 genes can be reactivated
by a particularly high does of selenium. Both of your GPX1 genes have this genetic variation and
therefore, you need a higher dose of selenium to compensate for this genetic variation.
