Hans, I have read numerous articles that exercise "properly" dosed elevates the body's natural antioxidant defenses such as SOD, catalase etc. Recently I came across a post from quite young and healthy people who after taking resveratrol supplement suffered from exercise-induced tendinitis:

This remembered me that my joint/ligament/tendon problems also started after taking a resveratrol supplement. Could it be that too much antioxidant activity from exercise combined with resveratrol results in impaired body healing response? This could weaken the tendons/ligaments which need some "inflammation" and angiogenesis to properly regenerate. Of course I was ingesting the flax seed oil at that time too what can make things only worst ... |
