Iron supplements is one of important health supplements. Regarding to my previous writing “Five top health supplements”, iron supplements is essential to the health and functioning of the body. Deficiencies in iron can have serious consequences for overall health and even energy levels. However, world wide, many people do not meet the minimum suggested daily intake of iron.

Iron deficiencies can cause a variety of health problems. Anemia is by far the most common and it results in feeling tired both mentally and physically. Anemia occurs when you do not have enough red blood cells needed by your body for energy production.

Women, because of their role in reproduction, need to be especially sure that their iron levels are sufficient especially during pregnancy as the healthy growth and development of their babies depends on it. Because of blood loss during menstruation, most women need to take a little extra precaution during that time period to make sure their iron levels stay at recommended levels.

However, like any other dietary supplement or medicine, iron supplements must be used properly to be effective and to avoid inducing other serious health problems. A little suggestion to have better absorbtion, always take iron supplement with ascorbic acid or vitamin C.

I found an interesting article titled “How to choose the best protein supplements for achieving for your bodybuilding goals” written by Hugo Rivera . This article inform us five different types of protein supplements on the market. To antisipate you be bored reading too long article, I will separate it into five.

Ok!!

Here is the first…

Weight gainers
Weight gainers are protein shakes with a high calorie base in the form of carbs along with 30-40 grams of protein for the majority of the products in the market. The protein sources of these products can consist of whey proteins (mostly concentrate with some isolate as well) and/or other protein sources such as milk proteins and egg.

Weight gainers were very popular back in the 90s but their popularity has died mainly because most people do not have the fast metabolism of a hardgainer; so as a result, a high carbohydrate diet applied on a person with over 10% body fat typically leads mostly to fat gains instead of muscle mass gains. For hardgainers however, and bodybuilders who are below 10% body fat, these products be very useful for getting in the amount of quality calories required to gain quality muscle.

They are best when used for the mid-morning, mid-afternoon and post workout meals as the carbohydrate content is of a fast released nature. They can be mixed with fruit juice or skim milk, and in order to increase the calorie content the use of flaxseed oil and fruits is invaluable.
