Scientific literature provides a large amount of data on the link between oxidative stress and athletes. The conclusions of the various research teams that have worked on the subject are as follows:

1/ Athletes are subject to heightened oxidative stress resulting from greater production of energy than, for example, in a sedentary person. For more information on the production of energy.

2/ Oxidative stress can be a factor aggravating the risk of cramps, muscle lesions and also difficulties in recovery and therefore loss of performance.

3/ Through regular training, athletes are partially able to adapt to the oxidative stress generated. They have a better antioxidant status than for example a sedentary person, i.e. they have greater capacity to withstand the pernicious effects of oxidative stress.

4/ It has also been shown that, during competitions, the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant protection is destroyed. Intense demands are made on the muscles generating oxidative stress which exceeds the antioxidant defense capacity of the body.

5/ A suitable antioxidant supplement, in addition to a balanced diet, can thus overcome this imbalance and improve the antioxidant status of athletes.

Based on these scientific data, supplementing with Powergrape^® can provide a suitable solution for athletes. Results obtained in several clinical studies on this ingredient have moreover confirmed its efficacy on performance, recovery and antioxidant protection of the subjects studied.
