Question for the ones who work out.

I have read that taking vitamin E pills reduce muscle soreness caused by lifting weights and/or extensive work outs. Can anyone confirm if this is true? if not, is there an actual method that helps in reducing soreness?

Ice can help prevent DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).

Is creatine still "the" supplement to use?

Yes it is. It really helps muscle production. I don't take any of that stuff though.

Creatine works really well for me (at least at reducing soreness).

Well, handgripper work leaves my hands very sore all the time, and soaking the hands in ice cold water and then super hot water, alternating cycles a few minutes at a time, does wonders to force circulation and heal my hands.

Brewer's Yeast. Works well for sorting out cramps caused by training.

I find that it helps as does eating foods high in potassium (like bananas).
