Dietary supplements, vitamin E, tocopherols, antioxidants, muscle sorenessAbstract
Background: Currently, there is a growing interest in investigating methods that reduce delayed onset muscle pain. It has been postulated that antioxidants such as vitamin C and E can attenuate it. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin E in mitigating delayed onset muscle pain. Materials and Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the following databases: Medline, Registry Central Cochrane, Scopus, SportDiscus and SciELO, using the terms: “vitamin e supplementation”, “muscle damage” and “delayed onset muscle soreness”. Results: Studies in diverse population groups were reviewed, with various evaluation methods and differing doses of vitamin E. The results were very controversial, in some cases a delayed onset pain effect was demonstrated and in other cases not. Conclusion: Vitamin E produces a decrease in oxidative stress and stabilization of sarcolemma, however, conclusive evidence is lacking to state that vitamin E will have the effect of generating improvements in biomarkers associated with delayed onset muscle pain.
