Recover-E
We all know that proteins are essential for muscle recovery and growth, but did you know that Vitamin E is also an important supplement for muscle recovery?
Exercising creates micro-tears in muscle fiber. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects your muscles from the build up of free radicals therefore speeding up your recovery time. Recovery wellness supports growth.
Don’t expect just to pop some vitamin E to recover though. You still need the basics of protein, carbs, glutamine and adequate sleep.
Other benefits of Vitamin E are healthy skin, circulatory system, aids in blood clotting, and virility. Some great sources of Vitamin E are Wheat germ, Vegetable oil, margarine, Avocado, Whole grain products, Egg yolk, Nuts, Liver, and Peanut butter.
Because Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin it can be taken in excess and can be toxic in high doses. The daily recommended dosage for E is 8 mg for women and 10 mg for men. Consult your physician to see if a vitamin E supplement is right for you.
