Men

Men are made differently from women thus having different nutritional requirements and health concerns. Aside from prostate protection when they get older, other health concerns men face are hair-loss, erectile dysfunction and decreased energy levels. Here are some of the best supplements for men:

  1. Ultraman Multivitamin - The complete multivitamin for men that include a full spectrum of multinutrients, a synergistic blend of nutrients for energy production, anti-stress and antioxidant protection.
  2. Glucosamine with Chondroitin - As men get older, the cartilage in their joints are no longer the same as when they were younger. Glucosamine reverses the damage and actually rebuild cartilage, In a 3-year study of 200 people with joint problems published in the Lancet, glucosamine reduced joint pain and stiffness by up to 25 percent and helped prevent the progression of osteoarthritis in the knees. Chondroitin helps cartilage retain water so it stays flexible. Together they soothe sore joints by keeping cartilage supple and in good supply. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that 79 percent of men who took 1,500 mg glucosamine and 1,200 mg chondroitin daily felt a significant reduction in chronic knee pain.
  3. Saw Palmetto - This is a must supplement for men 40 years and older. This herb from a small palm tree native to the Atlantic seaboard, has been shown to help protect against prostate cancer. It contains beta sitosterol, a powerful compound that interferes with the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Studies show that saw palmetto shrinks enlarged prostates and relieves urinary problems.
  4. Lycopene - This extract comes from tomatoes.  It contains powerful antioxidants that may be able to reduce BPH inflammation and prevent prostate cancer.
  5. Gingko Biloba - Aside from shapening and improving your memory, this supplement is also a popular treatment for erectile dysfunction, has shown promise in increasing the flow of blood to the male reproductive organs.
  6. Biotin - They say that a lack of Biotin in your body can cause hair loss. Biotin plays such a critical role in healthy hair as it helps promote new hair growth. Although heredity is the number one leading cause of hair loss and baldness, there are a number of other possible causes including illness, stress, poor diet and dieting, or medications. Biotin is something to consider in any one of these cases, but it is best to first discuss this with your MD or dermatologist to determine any underlying medical problems or conditions.
  7. COENZYME Q10 - The body produces Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is a catalyst for metabolism. It is the energizer of your heart as a battery is to a car. It helps cells increases your body's energy supply and improves blood circulation. As you get older, production decreases. The only way to get back up to youthful levels is by drinking this in supplement form. Recent studies suggest that coenzyme Q10 may fight cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, and may thin the blood to help prevent heart disease. Q10 is also packed with free-radical-fighting antioxidants, which can slow the signs of aging.
  8. Vitamin E - This vitamin is highly recommended for men as this increases energy levels, prevents joints and muscle pain for those who work out. It also plays an essential part in repairing the structure of DNA, maintaining the functions of the immune system, and regulating metabolism. The taking of vitamin E supplements has been linked to a lower incidence of cataract development and a decreased risk of heart attacks and heart attack-related deaths. New research is also showing that vitamin E may play a role in reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
  9. L-Carnitine - Your swimmers need this amino acid in order to grow and mature enough to survive the long journey to fatherhood. Italian researchers found that when men took 3 g L-carnitine daily for 4 months, their sperm counts and quality improved, and their partners' pregnancy rates increased by 20 percent.
  10. Zinc - This important mineral for many bodily processes, a zinc deficiency predisposes the prostate gland to infection, which could eventually lead to enlargement.
