ABSTRACT
The main base to stabilise redox homeostasis and immunity is a mixed, balanced diet. Supplementation with mixed fruit, vegetable and berry concentrates is indicated if health stabilisation and avoidance of oxidative stress and inflammation have priority. Sufficient and regular consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) is commonly regarded as an essential nutritional, preventive activity to maintain health. Scientific literature is scarce regarding exercising people with respect to supplementation with mixed FV concentrates, although a systematic review included research on healthy subjects, both trained and untrained. In preparation and development periods, supplementation with antioxidants containing FV supplements might be counterproductive due to hindered reactive oxygen and nitrogen species-induced signal transduction. Inadequate FV intake in a person’s daily diet can lead to underconsumption of bioactive compounds. This situation provides a rationale for offering concentrated FV nutrition, especially for exercising people.
