IRON SUPPLEMENTS 

 

Iron supplements can help treat as well as prevent iron deficiency anemia. This is particularly beneficial in women as they are prone to lack of iron which can cause fatigue, malaise, hair loss etc.

Because iron supplements invariably lead to constipation ( and black stools) I recommend that a fibre supplement be taken alongside to prevent this.

Vitamin C improves absorption of Iron and taking this alongside will also improve the effectiveness of this treatment. 

Additionally , because many micronutrient deficiencies can go undetected, taking a daily multivitamin supplement +- protein powder can help prevent this.

    FIBRE SUPPLEMENT OPTIONS

    Nutrients which gut microbiome requires as food or 'prebiotics' include fibre ( soluble fibre, insoluble fibre, resistant starch etc ), plant polyphenols, omega 3 and plant proteins. While these can be obtained from diet, supplements can also provide these dietary nutrients . Fibre reduces cholesterol, reduces sugar, improves metabolism by feeding gut microbiome and provides satiety through bulking effects. 

    Dietary Sources: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. Green banana flour contains a high amount of resistant starch.
