The client is a collegiate athlete and has been increasing the amount of energy that they are expending while exercising due to a training schedule provided by the team coach. The athlete should ingest more of which of the following vitamins?
1. Vitamin A 2. Vitamin C 3. Vitamin E 4. B-complex vitamins
4 Rationale: Vitamins A, C, and E are antioxidant vitamins. There is not enough current evidence to support the use of these. They are marketed to athletes to use when attempting to reduce muscle stress associated with intense exercise. However, research shows that when athletes expend a lot of energy during exercise, B-complex vitamins can be helpful to the athlete. These vitamins should be ingested through a good diet. The requirements for these vitamins are directly proportional to how much energy the athlete is expending.
