A systematic review: Role of dietary supplements on markers of exercise-associated gut damage and permeability.

ABSTRACT: Nutrition strategies and supplements may have a role to play in diminishing exercise associated gastrointestinal cell damage and permeability. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the influence of dietary supplements on markers of exercise-induced gut endothelial cell damage and/or permeability. Five databases were searched through to February 2021.
