I just take creatine daily. Although when I'm cutting weight (like right now) I don't eat any red meat and tend to get low in iron to the point that I'll get dizzy when standing up, so I supplement iron too.
I used to take fish oil and a multivitamin too, but I'm lazy.
If you're getting dizzy you might want to look at electrolytes for better hydration. Also, worth looking at blood pressure fluctuations and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome(POTS). POTS is diagnosed when your heart rates crosses 30BPM whole going from lying down to standing.
I'm curious why your blaming it on iron deficiency. Is your hemoglobin also down? Instead of iron supplement better to consider things like Lactoferrin. Also, if you have low stomach acid that leads to iron not absorbed properly in the GI system. Maybe look at some enzyme and hydrochloric acid supplements to see how you do on the iron front
that's pretty crazy, us men don't usually get low iron because we don't menstruate lol
one thing i would say with iron supps is be careful as iron deficiency is one of the key signs of possible internal bleeding in things like colon cancer. supping it can mask an important symptom.
just an FYI for anyone who reads this, a poop sample along with blood tests will put your mind at ease
what's your main protein source without the red meat? chicken and pork?
