Researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University recently published study results indicating that vitamin C and E supplementation for six weeks prior to racing completely prevented the increase in lipid oxidation typical in ultramarathon runners. The researchers noted that the same type of metabolic damage is found often in patients who’ve experienced traumas such as heart attack, stroke and some surgeries, pointing to the possibility of these nutrients, particularly vitamin E, benefiting even broader groups than elite athletes. "I think it’s pretty safe to say, at this point, that marathon runners should absolutely be taking supplements of vitamin E. A larger question is to determine who else could benefit." —Maret Traber, Ph.D., a co-author on the study and professor at the Linus Pauling Institute Read the article on ScienceDaily.com website.
