Prostate and tesoterone

Prostate support

Prostate enlargement and prostatitis are common male issues. Check out our sections on both for further advice.

Testosterone support

The andropause is the male equivalent of the menopause. The hormones that helps drive, energy and focus can drop off. Our new testosterone hormone test is coming soon. Read below about ways to boost your testorone.

Prostate health

Prostate health is pivotal for men's well-being. Scientific studies suggest that a diet abundant in cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower, can lower prostate cancer risk. Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and saw palmetto all have anti-inflammatory properties.

Testosterone

Look out for our new testosterone test. Maintaining healthy testosterone levels and keeping SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) levels in check is essential for overall male health.

Optimise hormone levels

Poor clearance of oestrogens can occur with age. Supporting normal function and detoxification of used hormones is essential for male health.

Energy

For men, sustained energy and vitality are rooted in a harmonious hormonal balance shaped by age, health, and environmental factors. Embracing a lifestyle rich in critical nutrients and vitamins, coupled with mindful practices, is pivotal for optimising this balance and ensuring enduring vigour.

Male health

Prostate health

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis are common prostate conditions that can benefit from targeted lifestyle interventions and specific supplements.

A balanced diet and regular exercise can alleviate symptoms, while essential supplements like zinc and selenium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids offer targeted support. Compounds like Diindolylmethane (DIM) and the adaptogen Saw Palmetto have been recognised for their potential benefits to prostate health.

Testosterone

A testosterone deficiency can lead to various health issues in men, including fatigue, depression, reduced bone and muscle mass, and decreased sexual drive. Maintaining optimal testosterone levels ensures male vitality, strength, and overall health.

Our top 5 supplements for male health

Saw palmetto: Helps with an enlarged prostate and slows the breakdown of testosterone.

DIM: (Diindolylmethane), supports free testosterone, it doesn't raise levels but aids in its activity. It helps with prostate health.

Vitamin D: Leydig cells in the testes generate testosterone. With low Vitamin D, their production decreases.

Zinc & Selenium: Deficiencies in zinc and selenium have been linked to the development of prostate cancer.

Athletic & Brain: Contains high-strength vitamin D, B vitamins, CoQ10 and PQQ. An energy and testosterone-support all-rounder.
