Vitamin C and E supplements may hamper endurance training

Notice we are talking about endurance.

"Previous studies show that exercising increases muscle oxidant production, which participates in the signalling processes leading to muscle adaption. It is possible that high doses of vitamins C and E act as antioxidants and take away some of this oxidative stress, hence blocking muscular endurance development."

So they are basically doing what they are supposed to be doing! haha.

I didn't read the actual paper but I would guess that the supplemented participants had less soreness and faster recovery.

Interesting tho................
