Chronic supplementation with vitamin E amongst athletic populations can not currently be supported. However, it is recognised that further research in this area is warranted. This includes research into the potential acute benefits of supplementation when immediate performance retention is desired, and adaptation is less important, such as during competition.

If moderating oxidative stress and inflammation are a priority, adapting a meal plan that focuses on unprocessed, conventional foods to include additional serves of mixed fruit and vegetables, plus nuts and extra virgin plant based oils should be a priority.
