HERE is an article with new research that shows taking vitamins after a workout might be a bad thing!
The basic science: taking antioxidant vitamins after exercise negate the effects of free-radicals, things that cause oxidative stress on the cells of our body. Free-radicals have been linked to many diseases, like cancer, but apparently the free-radicals produced during a sweat session may increase your body's sensitivity to insulin, which is a good thing!
I guess as the saying goes, "all things in moderation".
Free-radicals in excess create disease. Free-radicals in small amounts, like from moderate exercise, can be beneficial.
