I read somewhere, not TOOOO LONG ago that vitamins, if taken immediately post workout, would negate the benefits of excersise in relation to free radicals.
But this is stuff i’ve read in the last few months and failed to save links etc so youll have to take my world for it.

They might be helpful. There are studies however that show other results, remember that. Jonny Bowden has also written about the effects of anti-oxidants and exercise.

It also appears that saturated fats enhance the immune system, but I could not the study to read it myself. It could be the vitamins A and D in these fats that enhance the immune response. Mary Enig, PhD, and Sally Fallon wrote an article in which this is mentioned. Again it matters what KIND of fats are consumed.
I just bring my shaker to the gym with 50g protein + 40g waxy maize+ BCAA + glutamine. Immediatley after my last lift I fill it up with water and chug
