I am surprised that the dosing recommendations completely ignore the timing issue of proximity to workouts. I am talking about NSAIDs and antioxidants (the latter of which is included in this article) impacting inflamation and also recovery/muscle building. Specifically there is some suggestion that certain supplemental anti-oxidants (in addition to C & E) can impair/delay muscle recovery and actually increase oxidative stress under some training conditions.

Hi Snorkel, you'll be happy to know that the timing wasn't ignored at all. It was simply deemed insignificant.
I'm aware of, and have reported on, pro-oxidant damage for water soluble antioxidants consumed in high doses, but the lipid-soluble vitamins are likely to have a different pharmacokinetics (blanket term for the sake of simplicity).
Hope that helps.
