E. Chung, H. Mo, S. Wang, et al.Nutr Res. 2018;49:23-36 Current literature suggests that vitamin E molecules (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocopherols and the corresponding tocotrienols) with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities may mitigate age-associated skeletal dysfunction and enhance muscle regeneration, thus attenuating sarcopenia.

[Epub ahead of print] This study demonstrated strong associations between dietary magnesium intake, but not serum magnesium levels, and indices of skeletal muscle mass in a UK population of middle to older-aged adults, highlighting the likely importance of dietary magnesium for optimal muscle health in this population.
