Antioxidants- How much?

[bevan dewar]

I was wondering if anyone has numbers for how much vitamin A,E,C,B12,Selenium,Folic Acid,Beta Carotine, zink etc. one should supliment (over and above a fairly well balanced diet) if one were doing max statics or tables 6 days a week?
And is there any danger in getting to much of any of the vitamins and minerals recomended in these pages? cheers

Too much of any vitamins or minerals is not safe, specially the ones soluble in fat which accumulates in the body as vitamins A, E,..
Also a non balanced combination of vitamins can lead to a waste of the others you're taking.
Concerning numbers, I'd recommend a good book as they have to have a proper combination and proportion to one another.
I haven't clarified much but wanted to let you know that to take supplements properly some previous study needs to be done.
All the best
