Is there anything I can do nutritionally to reduce muscle soreness?

Asked by windex (2932points) May 30th, 2010

I don’t mind muscle soreness that much, but is there something I can take? (more protein, fish oil etc.)

I think I get enough protein, but there are a lot of different “tips” online, especially opposite viewpoints on sites like bodybuilding.com (which really pisses me off, how can the opposite of everything also make sense)

Some say take protein right before you go to sleep, some people actually wake up at 3 am to drink an additional protein shake….

Who do I believe? I read about DOMS on wikipedia and another “effects” but I just want to know if there is a good solution. (nutritionally speaking)

I want to make sure my muscle soreness is not because they’re starving for fuel.
