Abstract
Purpose: This review aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin C and glutathione supplementation on exercise performance.
Methods: We conducted a literature search across the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases using the keywords vitamin C, glutathione, antioxidants, exercise, and oxidative stress.
Results: The effects of vitamin C supplementation on exercise performance and oxidative stress levels are inconsistent. Glutathione, with its diverse forms of supplementation and methods, presents mixed outcomes. Vitamin C and glutathione have deeply interconnected antioxidant functions and are mutually essential to each other. Research investigating the combined intake of these two substances, which are intricately linked biochemically, and their effects on exercise performance remain largely unexplored.
Conclusion: Studies on the effects of vitamin C and glutathione intake on exercise have been conducted using diverse approaches; however, the results have not been consistent. Although an additive effect is anticipated with the combined intake of vitamin C and glutathione, research on this topic is currently insufficient, and further studies are required.
目的：本综述旨在探讨补充维生素C和谷胱甘肽对运动成绩的影响。方法：我们在PubMed、Google Scholar和Web of Science数据库中使用关键词维生素C、谷胱甘肽、抗氧化剂、运动和氧化应激进行了文献搜索。结果：补充维生素C对运动表现和氧化应激水平的影响是不一致的。谷胱甘肽的补充形式和方法多种多样，结果喜忧参半。维生素C和谷胱甘肽具有深刻的相互关联的抗氧化功能，并且相互必不可少。这两种物质在生物化学上有着错综复杂的联系，研究它们的联合摄入及其对运动表现的影响在很大程度上尚未被探索。结论：采用多种方法研究了维生素C和谷胱甘肽摄入对运动的影响；然而，结果并不一致。尽管维生素C和谷胱甘肽的联合摄入预计会产生相加效应，但目前对这一主题的研究还不够，还需要进一步的研究。
