Look up metabolic typing, fast oxidizer on the web. There is a whole vitamin set for fast oxidizers not just one vitamin. A former TM teacher Bill Walcott wrote a book on metabolic typing and runs www.healthexcel.com . Many boomers are fast oxidizers. Both choline and inositol play an important role in normalizing the oxidation rate. To some extent I find that ashwanganda has the similar effect of choline/inositol. Perhaps there may be a molecular similarity.
