I had a similar thread 4-5 yrs ago and was going to bump it but decided not to. It seems that it is best to avoid Vitamin C and Vitamin E around training.. However, some people like Mike Arnold have no problem putting a moderate 500mg dose of Vitamin C in their pre workout. Also, Jim Stoppani has 600mg NAC in his PreJym.
Personally, I stopped taking Vitamin E unless in full spectrum form(all 8 Isomers such as Jarrow FamilE...and actually would more likely choose Jarrow Toco-Sorb for the concentrated formula of 4 tocotrienols.
I am pretty big on anti oxidants and I use some real heavy hitters such as PQQ, Astaxanthin, and Pterostilbene. In addition to that, Ubiquinol, Curcumin, Vitamin C. ALA and Melatonin are staples. NAC I'd say I use half the year while Toco-sorb is rotated in at times as well.
I find myself taking things like Ubiquinol, PQQ, Curcumin, Astaxanthin and maybe even ALA or Ptero within an hour or two pre or post workout. My question is...do any of you know if there is any evidence of this having negative connotations with its consumption around the workout? Obviously I am not popping these immediately pre or post...but if I have a meal 60-90 minutes before and take a bunch of these, I want to know I am not negating the proper damage and repair process that may be necessary. Thoughts?
