Excerpt:

‍‍

This book chapter refers to studies that used supplementation with mixed fruit, vegetable and berry (FVB) concentrates in relation to exercising people and their redox and immune system, independent of the training status.

We address three questions:

• Can supplementation with mixed FVB concentrates modulate redox homeostasis in exercising people?
• Can supplementation with mixed FVB concentrates modulate the immune system of exercising people?
• How can sport nutrition advisors decide whether or not to supplement with mixed FVB concentrates?

A search of Medline/PubMed and the Cochrane library returned six original articles—with only one fruit, vegetable and berry concentrate —that pertain to exercising people and their redox and immune systems.
