Testosterone is often connected to men’s sexual health due to the fact that it is the primary male sex hormone. However, testosterone also plays a large role in other critical areas of whole-body health, including in women. Add in the fact that testosterone levels can influence the levels of other hormones like estrogen, and it becomes clear that this hormone is essential to more aspects of comprehensive wellness beyond male sexual function.
Low testosterone levels, a condition known as hypogonadism, are a hallmark of the male aging process. In fact, some estimates point to almost 39 percent of men ages 45 years or older as struggling with low testosterone levels, which is why this condition is often mentioned in the same breath as the male form of menopause known as andropause. Many have turned to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to promote balanced levels of testosterone, but there are plenty of men who seek other natural solutions to hypogonadism. Fortunately, nature offers a bevy of nutrients that have the ability to promote balanced testosterone levels in various ways.
How Do Low Testosterone Levels Affect Men?
Low testosterone levels are directly connected with reduced sexual function in men, so that is the symptom that is most commonly associated with hypogonadism. Unfortunately, low testosterone levels of testosterone in men can lead to a wide range of symptoms that include:
- Hot flashes
- Reduced strength and muscle mass
- Increased body fat
- Fatigue
- Reduced sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Depressed mood and increased risk of depression
- Issues with focus and memory
- Enlarged male breast tissue (gynecomastia)
The symptoms of low testosterone that accompany andropause are detrimental enough to whole-body health, but hypogonadism can also lead to long-term health conditions as well. Research shows that if not addressed properly, low testosterone levels can eventually cause a range of more serious issues, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
Which Supplements Could Address Low Testosterone Levels?
The nutraceutical industry has taken advantage of the wide variety of vitamins, minerals and organic chemical compounds that have the shared ability to promote balanced testosterone levels. EVEXIAS Health Solutions has developed a full range of products that can deliver certain nutrients to the body that have been recognized for their influence on testosterone levels.
DIM 150
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is an organic chemical compound that occurs in the body as a result after ingesting cruciferous vegetables, such as kale, broccoli and cauliflower. These vegetables contain another organic chemical compound known as indole-3-carbinol, which the body breaks down after ingestion. DIM is the result of that chemical reaction.
DIM is known for its ability to help the body metabolize estrogen, but it has also been recognized for its role in inhibiting aromatase. Aromatase actually converts testosterone into estrogen, so reducing the function of aromatase has shown positive results in balancing testosterone levels. It is no coincidence that high estrogen levels and low testosterone levels go hand-in-hand.
ADK
This professional grade nutraceutical contains vitamins A, D and K2. All of these vitamins have been recognized for their ability to promote balanced testosterone levels in their own unique ways.
Vitamin A is essential for the proper function of Adult Leydig cells, which are responsible for testosterone production in men. Vitamin A deficiencies often coincide with low testosterone levels.
Some studies have shown that vitamin D could promote healthy testosterone levels by reducing the function of aromatase.
Vitamin K2 has been recognized for its ability to help the body metabolize estrogen, which can help promote balanced levels of testosterone.
B Complex
The term “B Complex” describes all eight B vitamins. Some of these B vitamins have shown the potential to influence testosterone levels.
Low levels of vitamin B6 have been connected to reduced amounts of testosterone circulating in the body’s plasma.
Deficiencies of vitamin B9 (folate) have also been connected to reduced levels of circulating testosterone.
The body needs vitamin B12 to break down estrogen effectively. By helping prevent the accumulation of excess estrogen, this vitamin can contribute to an environment where testosterone can thrive.
Active Probiotic-ND
This professional grade nutraceutical is packed with 9 probiotic strains and a prebiotic to enhance the energy levels and overall function of the probiotics. In addition to supporting optimal gastrointestinal (GI) function, probiotics have shown a potential for helping the body sustain youthful serum testosterone levels.
SPM Complex
SPM Complex combines special lipid mediators (SPMs) with vitamins A and D. This product also contains professional grade cod liver oil. One of the types of fish oil in this product, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has shown a potential for increasing circulating testosterone levels.
HRT Complete (T)
HRT Complete (T) contains a robust profile of nutrients that have been selected for their ability to promote enhanced hormone metabolism, including CoQ10 and DIM, as well as vitamins B6, B9 and B12.
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been recognized for its role in lipid metabolism, which can reduce the accumulation of excess body fat that often contributes to low testosterone levels.
