Male Health

Key supplements for men’s health include zinc (essential for testosterone production, immune function and prostate health), magnesium (supports energy, muscle function and sleep), vitamin D (widely deficient and important for testosterone, immunity and bone health), omega-3 (supports cardiovascular health, brain function and inflammation), CoQ10 (supports energy production and heart health) and ashwagandha (which has been researched for testosterone support, stress resilience and physical performance).

Several nutrients play a direct role in testosterone production and regulation. Zinc is one of the most important as deficiency is closely linked to low testosterone. Vitamin D acts as a steroid hormone precursor and is associated with healthy testosterone levels.

Ashwagandha has been shown in clinical studies to support testosterone and improve markers of male reproductive health. Magnesium and boron also play supporting roles in testosterone metabolism.

The most researched supplements for prostate health include zinc (which is found in high concentrations in the prostate and is essential for its function), saw palmetto (a botanical traditionally used to support urinary flow and prostate comfort), lycopene (a carotenoid antioxidant found in tomatoes, associated with prostate health), selenium (an antioxidant mineral important for prostate function) and vitamin D (low levels are associated with increased prostate health risks).
