As I learned in a medical school course, the best antioxidant is the body’s own: glutathione. and its generated effectively if one is healthy, and is worth more than exogenous sources of antioxidants. ppl who dont understand this believe in the one-all, be-all power of dietary antioxidants, which can only help.

Even the new bad boys like Resveratrol, shown to inhibit aromatase action (boosts T levels), cannot work like a magic pill but instead are just part of one’s journey towards better health.

Hey Sameer,

Regarding this issue, there’s only a small amount of data to speculate over, and it’s riddled with limitations. I discuss this in-depth in the July 2008 AARR. Suffice it to say, if you’re already a habitual caffeine user, don’t worry about it. Even if you’re not, don’t worry about it. If you ate enough chocolate bars & soda to negate the effect of creatine, you might have more pressing problems on your hands

Alan,

In your book when on creatine, you mentioned that consumption of caffiene will not negate mass gain, however it affects performance. Can you please elaborate on this as how much of caffiene will affect my performance in weight training and whether it is something I should worry about (stop my chocolate bars, drinking coffee and sodas?). My goal is to gain mass/strength.

Also, I am going to take creatine daily be 5g. Should I change anything? (take it only on weight training days or something?)

thanks

Great post, Alan. I wrote a similar blog post a while back when I worked for 20/20 Lifestyles. I might repost it to my B.S. Detective blog and link to this one from it as well.
