Vitamins C, E, Selenium

Vitamins C , E and selenium are natural nutritional supplements that are classified as a separate category of antioxidants, since these are organic compounds necessary for normal life, which, in addition to their antioxidant properties, produce a number of other effects. In other words, when taking vitamins and microelements, the work of all systems in the body is normalized, and the negative effects of free radicals are also blocked. For athletes, vitamins and microelements, especially C, E and selenium, are of particular importance, as they help protect all tissues and organs from toxic substances under conditions of increased stress.

Antioxidants, in principle, are necessary for every person, but athletes and people with an active lifestyle have an increased need for them. In addition to training with overload, the formation of free radicals is provoked by the constant inhalation of car exhaust, tobacco smoke, unbalanced nutrition, etc. As a result, the walls of blood vessels and cell membranes, muscle tissue and many organs are damaged, and recovery after training is noticeably slowed down. To combat this, you need to ensure sufficient intake of antioxidants in the body. Some vitamins and macro- and microelements have an antioxidant effect. Next, we will talk specifically about the action of vitamins C, E and selenium.

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. Important for the regeneration and growth of tissue cells (participates in the synthesis of collagen), helps to properly absorb iron, strengthens the immune system. Often included in chondroprotective supplements.

Vitamin E (tocopherol) has a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems, reduces fatigue, and also helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. With constant use, it helps to eliminate problems with concentration.

Selenium is involved in many vital processes in the body. It has an anti-inflammatory property (therefore, it can be found in preparations for ligaments and joints), stabilizes the hormonal background, and has a positive effect on the thyroid gland.

The above three substances are often found in combination, as their combined synergistic effect allows for the best antioxidant properties.
