Natural Men’s Health Supplements
Two of the biggest concerns among men as they age are prostate health and low libido. Medications can be prescribed to treat these issues, but prescription medicines can often have some very serious side effects. Fortunately, there are many natural alternatives that can be just as effective without the complications. Choosing health supplements is a better and safer option for many men.
Prostate Health
There are several men's dietary supplements that, either taken alone or in combination with other nutrients, can be quite beneficial in helping to maintain a healthy prostate. Saw palmetto, an herb native to the Atlantic seaboard, is one of the most extensively studied and popular health supplements for men. The compound known as sitosterol is contained in this supplement. Sitosterol interferes with the body's process of turning testosterone into DHT, which is the main cause of an enlarged prostate. Research has shown that saw palmetto can cause the prostate to shrink and helps to alleviate urinary issues.
Red clover, which belongs to the pea family, also helps to inhibit DHT while fighting off cancerous growths. Other important men's health nutrients include zinc - which assists with preventing gland infections; vitamin B6 - which helps to regulate the hormones that create DHT; and lycopene - which reduces inflammation and fights off prostate cancer.
Men’s Sexual Health
Millions of men each year are affected by low libido or impotence, and there are a number of different factors, such as depression, alcoholism and stress, that could be to blame. Men's health supplements can help treat low libido or impotence by working in one of three ways:
- Relaxing the Mind
- Promoting Circulation
- Balancing Sex Hormones
Sexual Health Supplements
Ginko Biloba and gotu kola are herbs that increase circulation to the male organ and stimulate the mind. Muira Puama can help stimulate libido and balance hormone levels. Tribulus is a well-known sexual enhancement supplement that treats impotence and infertility and also stimulates the production of testosterone, the hormone involved in male sexual functions. L-arginine is thought to enhance libido and stimulate erections by increasing circulation to the male sex organ.
Be sure to consult with a medical professional before you begin using any supplement. They will be able to help you make an informed decision as to which supplement may be right for your needs.
