Stop taking vitamin C and E if you exercise? I do not believe that headline from the first link and I hope you will learn enough from the attachment below to discredit such flimsy research.

There is extensive valid research for many years finding benefits and now this inadequate study gets headlines everywhere. The media has to sell their stuff and this will get read because it makes readers believe that continuing their supplements may be putting them at
some risk. That makes this nonsense sell papers.

Obviously those on any of the supplement programs I recommend are never receiving JUST C and E. Anyone looking for even a few seconds will see things like MSM, Resveratrol, Essential Fatty acids like Omega 3 and Primrose and Amino Acids and herbs like garlic and chelators like EDTA.

I have attached an important link to help you refute this poor study if it comes up with your patients or colleagues. Dr Alex Schauss is a long-term friend and imminently qualified to rebut this attack on Vitamin E and C on a strictly scientific basis alone.

There seems to be more funding for research attacking nutritional supplements than any support for studies seeking to find positive benefits.
