However, a case study of a 77-year-old man led by Filip Couturier from St. Vincentius Hospital in Antwerp, Belgium found that a supplement containing green tea extract was toxic to the liver and caused toxic hepatitis. Studies on rats found that EGCG could cause liver damage by reducing important antioxidants that protect it from free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals linked to cell membrane damage, destruction of DNA and cell death. Bodybuilders and high-performance athletes should be extremely careful about taking supplements that affect individual performance or physiological variables. While they might improve performance, they could also have serious side effects. (Clinics in Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, published online March 9, 2016) O.L.S.

It is particularly effective in promoting blood vessel health. Beetroot juice increases brain blood flow, which enhances cognitive function and neuromuscular control. Sean Flanagan and co-workers from the Ohio-State University found that supplementing beetroot extract for three days improved neuromuscular function in before, during and after an intense weight-training workout, compared to a placebo (fake beetroot). Motor unit firing rates were lower at the onset of exercise, and continued as the muscular fatigued. This showed that the supplement promoted neuromuscular control during fatiguing exercise. Motor units are nerve-muscle combinations that control movements during sports. (Journal American College of Nutrition, 35: 100-107, 2016) O.L.S.
