Abstract

A body supplement and method for improving blood flow, muscle chemistry and/or the oxygenation of muscles, said supplement including cinchona bark or quinine in the range of approximately 0.0010 grams and 4.0 grams per dosage.

Claims

1. A method for preventing muscle trauma and increasing muscle performance in an athlete, wherein said method comprises:

an athlete performing a strenuous physical activity, whereby

before initiation of said strenuous physical activity, the athlete is administered a dosage comprising;

about 100 to about 600 mg of cinchona bark.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said dosage comprises about 100 to about 300 mg of cinchona bark.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said dosage comprises about 300 mg to 600 mg of cinchona bark.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said dosage comprises about 100 mg to 500 mg of cinchona bark.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said dosage comprises about 600 mg of cinchona bark.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said dosage comprises about 300 mg of cinchona bark.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein cinchona bark is in the form of a powder and wherein the dosage further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of niacin, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and potassium.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the cinchona bark is in liquid form.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the dosage further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of niacin, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and potassium.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the dosage is administered approximately 1.5 hours before said strenuous physical activity.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the dosage is administered approximately 0.5 hours before said strenuous physical activity.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the dosage is administered approximately 1.0 hours before said strenuous physical activity.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing to said athlete, a second dosage of cinchona bark during said strenuous physical activity.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the amount of cinchona bark in said second dosage is less than the amount of cinchona bark in the dosage administered before said strenuous physical activity.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising providing to said athlete, a third dosage of cinchona bark after administration of said second dosage of cinchona bark, wherein said third dosage is administered after said strenuous activity.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the amount of cinchona bark in said third dosage is less than the amount of cinchona bark in the second dosage of cinchona bark.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the amount of cinchona bark in said second dosage is greater than the amount of cinchona bark in the dosage administered before said strenuous physical activity.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising providing to said athlete, a third dosage of cinchona bark after administration of said second dosage of cinchona bark, wherein said third dosage is administered after said strenuous activity.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the amount of cinchona bark in said third dosage is greater than the amount of cinchona bark in the second dosage of cinchona bark.
