EFFECT OF VITAMIN C AND VITAMIN E ON MUSCLES DURING EXERCISE...

Research has shown that consuming some types of
vitamin supplements like C and E may reduce the performance of
muscles during exercise.
This research monitored some 54 participants who were given either
100mg of vitamin C plus 235mg vitamin E or a sugar pill during an
11-week trial.
During the supplementation, the participated young men and
women had an endurance-training program performed three to
four sessions a week.
While the researchers observed them through blood samples and
muscle biopsies before and after interventions, they found some
developing differences inside the muscle.
As each muscle cell contains lots of tiny mitochondria which
benefits the muscle cell its energy, taking the supplements caused
producing fewer extra mitochondria to cope with the increasing
demands placed on the muscle.
"Results show that vitamin C and E supplements blunted the
endurance-training-induced increase of mitochondrial proteins,
which are needed to improve muscular endurance,"
"Results indicate that high dosages of vitamin C and E, as
commonly found in supplements, should be used with caution,
especially if you are undertaking endurance training,"
The new study is contrary to a previous research that suggested
the benefits of vitamin C supplements for exercise.
The study claimed that a daily supplement of 500mg of vitamin C
could be associated with an average 11 fewer heart beats during
exercise.
