I won't drink effervescent multivitamin tablets before playing tennis.

Apparently Vitamin C and E supplement can hamper muscle's cellular reactions to heavy load exercises.

I notice that my biceps / upper arm muscles get weak quickly since I started drinking multivitamin effervescent tablets just before playing tennis.

I think I'll completely avoid vitamin supplement.

Not sure why you would take supplements before playing. Vitamins are not absorbed all that well from GI tract unless there is food there, and you don''t want to eat too close to playing time. Also, many supplements have antioxidant properties, perhaps the last thing you need before athletic endeavors as your body produces energy by the process of oxidation.

I don't actually deliberately take the supplement right before playing tennis. It just happens that my tennis schedule is at 8 am and my breakfast time is at around 6 am and I took the vitamin with my breakfast.
