Dietary Flavonoid Quercetin Increases VO2MAX and Endurance Capacity

25 Jun

Been a while since I posted here and  that’s mostly because I’ve been underground riding my rearend off for Leadville.  In any case, I’m a big believer in FRS (I start every morning with a smoothie made of 2-3oz FRS Concentrate, 3-4oz real oj, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/4 cup chopped frozen mango, same amnt. frozen pineapple, blend–that courtesy of Juan Pelota at Mellow Johnny’s in Austin.  They call it the Hella Yella.) and found this new study done at the University of South Carolina on the positive impact of Quercetin on endurance capacity and VO2 Max.  If it’s true, this is pretty big stuff.  I hope it’s not another goji berry or acai hype job (and for the record I believe in both of those berries for their benefits, but not to the extent the marketing departments of most company’s would have us believe).

I’m getting ready to pack up the house and head east for some altitude acclimation before Leadville.  After last week’s ride in Kernville (where I felt pretty good), I’ll be curious to see what my numbers look like versus sea level.

Back to the salt mines.
