Best Supplement/Vitamin/Food to Combat Soreness

[Thebigad]

Is there a tried and tested vitamin, OTC supplement, or even food that does a good job of combating post-tennis soreness (especially in my legs)? I do stretching, which helps a great deal.

Maybe I should be taking a protein shake post-tennis? I'd rather not spend money on some designer product, but wanted to know if there is any wisdom in this area.

Thanks.

PNF stretching helps a ton but you need a partner

Make sure that you're getting enough electrolytes as lack can cause cramping and I think that it's needed for recovery.

For me, the best treatment to tennis soreness is an extra hour or two of sleep at night for two days.
