Method of determining a dosage of anti-oxidant for an individual

A method of determining a dosage of anti-oxidant for an individual person, wherein the dosage is determined on the basis of an individual factor (IF) and a stress index (SI), and wherein;

• IF=WF+AY+TF, and
• SI=Sum of {PATF x TIF x TFF} for each possible PATF and TIF combination, and the dosage increases as each of IF and SI increases;
• wherein
• WF is the weight factor which increases with increasing weight of the individual,
• AF is the age factor which increases with increasing age of the individual,
• TF is the training factor which increases as the extent of past physical training of the individual decreases,
• PATF is a physical activity type factor of a current and future physical activity of the individual and PATF increases as the physical exertion required to perform the corresponding physical activity increases,
• TIF is the training intensity factor, where TIF increases as the intensity of the individual's performance of a corresponding physical activity increases, and
• TTF is a training time factor for a corresponding PATF and TIF combination, where TTF increases as the time spent by the individual performing a corresponding physical activity increases.

An oral formulation for treatment of oxidative stress induced by physical training comprising:

• between 100c and 450c mg of bioflavonoids from pine bark;
• 50c and 150c mg of Alpha lipoic acid;
• 50c and 300c mg of Vitamin C and its derivatives;
• 100c and 450c mg of Vitamin E and its derivatives;
• wherein c is a positive number.
