If you want to improve your condition, you’re better off not taking high-dose vitamin C pills. In fact, you may be best off not taking any supplements that neutralize the effects of free radicals at all. In 2008, physiologists at the University of Valencia published the results of a study in which a daily dose of 1 g vitamin C undermined the effect of 8 weeks of running training.
The vitamin pill undermines the muscle cells’ adaptation to exercise, the researchers discovered. Muscle cells arm themselves against free radicals by producing higher amounts of protective enzymes such as manganese super oxide dismutaste (Mn-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
It seems that muscles need free radicals, the researchers state. "Thus, the common practice of taking vitamin C supplements during training (for both health-related and performance-related physical fitness) should be seriously questioned."
