The
Essential Supplements - Part Four
Last
issue, I added essential fatty acids to the #3 position - coming in behind
#1 protein and #2 glutamine. In the next issue, I'll go over a few supplements
that while not entirely essential to everyone - came very close to making
the list. However, right now it is time to finish off the Big 4 Essentials
with the addition of Fiber!
Even
though it is a simple supplement, fiber
is essential - especially on a high protein diet. If you've ever tried
to live on MRP's
and protein,
let's face it: you've unloaded a brick or two. While somebody may have
said, "You sure took a healthy one!" - it really wasn't that
healthy.

Dr. Chris Lydon of M.D. Labs actually listed
Metamucil as the 3rd most essential supplement when she compiled
a list.
As she suggests, not many of us actually eat five servings of fresh
fruits and vegetables every day. Without enough dietary fiber, you
could be headed toward a lot of problems - and the worst of which
is a huge increase in the risk of developing colon cancer.
Solution!
We do offer fiber in both powder
and capsule
forms. 1 to 3 servings a day should help to keep the doctor away...or
should I say the snap of the rubber glove? Fiber
has very few calories per serving, too. Also, the stuff is dirt
cheap. Fiber
isn't an expensive supplement - just a good one.

Conclusion:
This actually ends my Big 4 Essential Supplements list! As you may have
found, the list only included the basics - the stuff you shouldn't even
try to get by without. Male or female - makes no difference. This short
list applies to everyone. Sure, the choices weren't exciting hyped supplements
like Big Bull Gonadotropin XL 5000 or Ultra Mega Huge Ripped Creatine
Stack ...er, uh, well...you get the picture. Remember, the next article
will feature some supplements that almost made the Big 4!
