Thu, 13 Jun 2024 20:57:29 GMT

Most men may need to pay more attention to their health. Compared to women, men are less likely to commit to their physical, emotional and mental health. And although some men are beginning to take notice and move toward healthier habits, many remain unaware of their common health risks. By recognizing health threats and making healthy lifestyle changes, many of these risks can be reduced.

Developing a health care regimen for overall health and well-being may include getting additional nutrients. Supplements can be a helpful tool for men with vitamin, mineral or other nutritional deficiencies. With regular health care, eating healthy, exercising moderately and living responsibly, men can improve their quality of life.

CONNECT TO A STRONG NUTRITIONAL RELATIONSHIP

When it comes to maintaining optimal health, a well-balanced diet and regular exercise are essential. However, due to various factors, such as busy lifestyles, dietary restrictions and common nutrient deficiencies, many men may benefit from incorporating supplements into their daily routine for an additional nutrient boost.

Multivitamins serve as a foundation for good health by providing essential vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in the diet or depleted from illness, medications, exercise or lifestyle. Men have unique nutritional requirements, and a multivitamin designed specifically for men can help bridge those gaps. Men's Complete Whole Food Multi is made from real, nutritious foods that are certified vegan, USDA organic, non-GMO and formulated specifically for the needs of men. It offers a daily dose of all the essential vitamins and minerals in a whole-food formula designed specifically for men.^{^†}

Probiotics play a significant role in maintaining a healthy gut. Gut health is crucial for overall well-being. Probiotic supplements promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, aiding digestion, supporting the immune system and mood, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Men's Probiotic Complete 50 Billion CFUs is a shelf-stable, high-potency, proprietary blend containing 50 billion CFUs (colony forming units) and custom-tailored to support men’s digestive, immune and colon health.^†

Strong bones are just as important for men as they are for women. The body needs calcium, vitamin D, other important nutrients and regular weight-bearing physical activity to make and keep bones strong and hard. Bone Support Plus Algae-Based Minerals is a vegan-approved formula utilizing Aquamin^®. It is rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and over 72 trace minerals that support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.^{^†}

Prostate health becomes increasingly important for men as they age. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) commonly affects 50 percent of men ages 51 to 60 and up to 90 percent of men over 80. BPH symptoms include urges to urinate throughout the night, difficulty starting or maintaining urination and more frequent urination.

Ingredients found in Prostate Health Support with Saw Palmetto and Nettle may help with proper prostate and urinary tract function. The natural compounds in this product may also assist in maintaining healthy testosterone metabolism and other related concerns.^†

As men age, concerns regarding sex drive and energy levels become more commonplace. Male Virility Support is a proprietary formula that has been synergized with an herbal blend to support processes involved in promoting a healthy male sex drive, energy and stamina.^{^†} 

COMMIT TO BETTER HEALTH AND OVERALL WELL-BEING

Stress can have a severe impact on anyone, regardless of gender. Stress tends to affect men and women differently. As men struggle to cope, it can affect both their physical and mental health, as well as their relationships. Super Stress Support is a sustained-release supplement that provides a full spectrum of B-complex vitamins as well as vitamin C and herbs to help support normal stress responses. It may be a useful dietary supplement for men who wish to support their health during stressful periods.^†

Sleep is one of the most valuable activities of the day. It is a time when the body is actively recharging itself and preparing for the next day. Men may not realize just how much sleep is needed and tend to have irregular sleep schedules. Most men will sleep much better with a pattern of quality, healthy sleep. Sleep Perfect Formula provides an innovative blend of nutrients that promote soothing and restful sleep. The non-habit-forming ingredients were specifically chosen to promote healthy circadian rhythms and help relax tense muscles. It is designed to provide individuals with restful slumber and a rejuvenated body upon awakening.^†

Men can live long, happy lives by paying attention to the basic aspects of their health, such as healthy diet, exercise, sleep, regular visits with their physician and filling nutritional gaps where needed.
