Chronic fatigue is considered a complex symptom for which
currently there is no curative treatment available. Oxidative
stress plays an important role in the etiology of fatigue and
antioxidant treatment might be a valuable therapeutic
approach. The Kani, a tribal high altitude living population
in southern India, traditionally use the seeds of Trichopus
zeylanicus to combat fatigue. In this study, the antioxidant
properties of Trichopus zeylanicus were established on free
radicals (DPPH and ABTS), its ability to reduce iron,
lipoxygenase activity and hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid
peroxidation. The effects of Trichopus zeylanicus on reactive
oxygen species induced plasmid DNA (pBR322) cleavage were also
investigated. Trichopus zeylanicus significantly scavenged
free radicals, reduced lipid peroxidation and inhibited
lipoxygenase activity. Trichopus zeylanicus also exhibited
iron-chelating activity and inhibited reactive oxygen species
induced DNA damage. Trichopus zeylanicus contains NADH,
polyphenols and sulfhydryl compounds, which have the ability
to scavenge reactive oxygen species suggesting that the
antioxidant activity may be an important mechanism of action
of Trichopus zeylanicus to combat fatigue. Copyright (c) 2005

I must need anti oxidants as my joints are rusting shut

That's what you get for taking supplemental iron with a glass
of water. Real men take their pills dry.

Actually it took a moment to realize that was suppose to
be humorous.

In reality, I have had very low iron in my system for as long
as I can remember. As a kid they had me on supplements, but
they NEVER did anything to change my level. so the doctors
still tell me there is no sense in taking the pills if they
have no residual value. (or something to that effect)

I have a couple bottles of navel jelly on hand at all
times. but injecting it is a real bear, as the needle
needed to move that junk is huge and for the most part
scares the hell out of me
