FUENTES-BARRIA, Héctor et al. Effects of Vitamin E Supplementation in Reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Pain. A Narrative Review. Perspect Nut Hum [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.219-227. Epub 04-Dez-2019. ISSN 0124-4108. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.penh.v21n2a07.
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.
