While most ergogenic supplements have similar effects on both men and women, several nutritional supplements can be used for more female specific concerns.
| • | Menstrual Cycle |
| Studies have shown that nutritional supplements have positive effects on several perimenstrual problems including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), painful periods or dysmenorrhea, fluid retention and bloating, and fibrocystic breast disease. | |
| • | Anemia |
| Iron deficiency anemia is a common problem with women of child bearing age. Women who exercise, because of the increased need for iron and other nutrients, are even more prone to developing anemia. It's important for all women to take a good vitamin and mineral supplement as a safety net against developing anemia. This supplement should contain not only iron, but also other nutrients that are commonly deficient, such including folic acid, B12 and zinc. | |
| • | Osteoporosis |
| Calcium is the usual suspect when we talk about bone health. However, although calcium is important so are other nutrients including vitamins, minerals and fiber. | |
| • | Infertility (Eating to Conceive) |
| Poor nutritional status can be a deterrent to getting pregnant. Although there are few studies looking at the effects nutritional supplements on fertility, correcting deficiencies in folic acid, zinc, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 with nutritional supplements may be part of the solution. | |
