Baby Formula Questions

Which baby formula is best?

There's no single "best" formula - it depends on your baby's needs. Similac and Enfamil are excellent mainstream options. Kendamil and ByHeart are premium choices with unique ingredient profiles (no palm oil, whole milk fat). For sensitive babies, try partially hydrolyzed formulas like Similac Sensitive or Enfamil Gentlease. See our detailed comparisons.

What are HMOs and do I need them in formula?

HMOs (Human Milk Oligosaccharides) are beneficial prebiotics naturally found in breast milk. Research shows they reduce infections by 50% and improve gut health. Most premium formulas now include HMOs like 2'-FL. They're beneficial but not essential - babies thrive on non-HMO formulas too. See our complete HMO guide.

Fitness & Supplements Questions

Do I really need protein powder?

No, protein powder is convenient but not necessary. You can meet protein needs through whole foods (chicken, fish, eggs, legumes). Use protein powder if: you struggle to meet protein targets (0.8-1g per lb body weight), want convenience post-workout, or need quick meals. See our protein powder guide.

Is creatine safe?

Yes, creatine monohydrate is one of the safest supplements with 500+ studies showing no adverse effects in healthy individuals. It doesn't damage kidneys or liver in healthy people. Take 3-5g daily. See our complete creatine guide for details.

Women's Health Questions

How can I relieve period cramps naturally?

Best natural remedies: heat therapy (heating pad for 20 minutes), magnesium supplements (200-400mg daily), gentle exercise, adequate hydration, ginger or turmeric. For immediate relief, combine heat + ibuprofen. See our period cramps relief guide for 15 proven methods.

Do I have PCOS?

PCOS is diagnosed when you have 2 of 3: irregular periods, elevated androgens (blood test or symptoms like excess hair/acne), or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. Only a doctor can diagnose PCOS through blood tests and examination. If you suspect PCOS, see a healthcare provider. See our complete PCOS guide.
