The EvidenceThe Evidence The evidence published in peer-reviewed scientific journals is consistent:
athletes using sensible vegan diets, including supplements when appropriate (e.g. creatine for strength sports, iron for endurance sports), are at no disadvantage, and may, in fact, experience certain advantages (such as higher antioxidant status, which can speed exercise recovery).
