6. Do I need extra vitamins if I exercise?
Exercise produces free radicals in the body. (Free radicals are believed to play a role in more than 60 different health conditions, including the aging process, cancer and atherosclerosis.)
If you work out more than 30 to 60 minutes a day, you may want to up your antioxidant intake to counteract this stress.
Also, you lose minerals like magnesium and potassium through sweat, so avid exercisers are wise to add a complex multimineral vitamin to their daily program.
