ACAI and Athletes Explained
Athletes experience more oxidative stress than the average individual, because produce more free radicals after endurance and strength training, the oxidative stress not only causes damage to the cells and DNA ,it also limit our aerobic capacity. There is growing evidence that free radicals serve as a signal to stimulate the adaptive processes in muscle cells. Antioxidants from food and supplements such as Viva! ACAI may help maintain the integrity of cell membranes allowing oxygen to be carried more efficiently and effectively to the working muscles.

Antioxidants are basically molecules capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Generally, oxidation is a chemical reaction which transmits electrons from substance to an oxidizing agent, whenever there are free radicals. Free radicals cause cell damage. So, what antioxidants actually do, they interconnect with free radicals and prevent cell damage. Scientists believe that free radicals play a role in establishing disease like coronary heart disease, cancer, atherosclerosis, dementia ,neurological damage autoimmune diseases, and others.
