Barefoot TJ said:Zap, perhaps, Jason could consult with an OB/GYN and other medical professionals to ask those questions about depletion, causes, effects, etc., so he can add a section to his book. Sure, the men may feel down and out after or during the later part of an ultra, but it would be nothing compared to a woman who is menstruating, I am sure. It would be good to know what kinds of things people/women susceptible to depletion could do to minimize the negative effects (iron-not the constipating kind, salt, etc.).
