Question: Should I take nutrition supplements and vitamins when I use the Alpha-Stim?
Answer: The Alpha-Stim, when used on your body for pain cessation or control, does this in large part by initiating the repair process in the injured tissues. It does this by, among other things, increasing the amino acid transport and protein synthesis in the area. It can not do this if the necessary amino acids are not present in the blood stream when you use your Alpha-Stim.Are vitamins nutrition supplements really needed?

Should I worry about iron on a vegetarian/vegan diet?
Iron deficiency, unlike protein deficiency, sometimes is a real problem, but meat is not the answer. The American Dietetic Association said in 1988 that vegetarians don’t have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than nonvegetarians. If you are concerned about getting enough iron, avoid eating iron-rich foods along with substances that inhibit iron absorption: phyates (found in high-bran and unmilled cereals), polyphenols (such as tannins in tea) and calcium.

How long should I wait between drinking tea and eating iron enriched foods?
I recall a lecture some years ago in which the speaker (a nutrition expert from Oxford Brookes University) recommended that vegetarians avoid drinking tea within one hour either side of a meal. How strict one should be about this clearly depends on other factors such as the strength of the tea and total non-haem iron intake.

Are there any supplements I could take to increase the amount of iron in my body?
