FREE RADICALS HINDER HIGH QUALITY TRAINING

When a sedentary athlete begins to exercise, from a slow aerobic pace to an anaerobic pace, free radical production increases from as little as 12 times to as high as 20 times their resting rate (Brooks 1984). The longer or faster the athlete exercises, the more increased proportionate oxygen-induced free radicals are produced causing tissue damages, fatigue, swelling, and pain. This is called "The Univalent Reduction Pathway," which produces massive amounts of superoxides, hydroperoxides, and hydroxyl free radicals during prolonged or intense metabolic activity. The conversion of blood sugar, muscle glycogen, and fatty acids occur by oxidation. During this process pairs of hydrogen atoms are released like guided missiles, resembling a minute micro-level war causing devastating destruction to underlying tissues and cells.

Damages "felt" from non-neutralized free radicals may result in stiffness, soreness, lethargy, and lack of motivation the day following an intense effort. From 95% of all O2 inhaled, no free radicals are released during fuel-conversion, but 5% of the inspired volume is very "dirty" with excessive FR's (Ernster 1986).
 

Every 5 minutes during cycling or running, 15-20 breaths out of every 350-400 inhaled breaths releases a whooping 100% volume of free radical components into the cellular tissues, where body stores of antioxidants must immediately meet and neutralize them as they are produced. As the body stores of antioxidants are recruited and spent during prolonged duration or intense exercise, free radicals are permitted free reign to devastate and damage tissues, creating more free radicals as they circulate within the athlete's exercising muscles.
   
Athletes who inspire high amounts of oxygen in a relatively short space of time. Interval sessions, fartleks, and hill repeats significantly raise the rate of energy metabolite flux, free radicals, and waste products. The body's endogenous cellular antioxidant stores are not capable of meeting and disposing of the excessive harmful oxygen-induced metabolic byproducts.

For more information -  Google lycopene today.

Unlike other products which contain Lycopene extract and no oil, our unique formula "ACTIVATES" the goodness of the tomato and the Lycopene extract. Enhanced with Natural Vitamin E and Virgin Coconut oil our Pharmacists have found a way to put all the antioxidant goodness of Organic Tomatoes (the whole tomato is used skin, flesh and pips etc) in a easy to swallow softgel capsule.  - Activated Lycopene softgel capsules contain no unnecessary fillers. In various laboratory studies, lycopene has been found to possess the most protective effects against free radical damage when compared to the entire family of biological carotenoids.

ACTIVATED LYCOPENE uses the power of tomatoes in a unique formula designed to deliver the most bioavailable dosage of Lycopene.

Are there any side-effects I should be aware of?

At the time of this writing, no adverse effects have been reported concerning the use of Lycopene, and no evidence of any drug interactions with Lycopene has been reported. Lycopene is believed to be a safe supplement, as evidenced by the fact that researchers felt comfortable giving it to pregnant women. (Sharma JB, Kumar A, Kumar A, et al. Effect of Lycopene on pre-eclampsia and intra-uterine growth retardation in primigravidas. Int J Gynaecol Obstet. 2003; 81:257–262)
However we suggest that pregnant women should consult with their Doctor before taking any herbs or supplements.
