Evaluation of Male Supplements

Male supplements are designed to provide essential vitamins and minerals for the male body. With so many supplements on the market today, it may be hard for a consumer to purchase the right product for his health concerns. Be sure to consult a doctor before beginning any new vitamin regime.

Energy

• Energy supplements help men gain energy to work-out and boost muscle mass and strength. Coenzyme Q10, an anti-aging vitamin, helps with energy production. The vitamin glucosamine strengthens joints across the body by enhancing cartilage. For men with exercise on their mind, these vitamins are essential.

General Health Concerns

• Men who are at risk for heart disease or diabetes have a number of vitamins they can take. Chromium helps build muscles but also helps with insulin sensitivity. Chromium is recommended to many patients who have a family history of diabetes. Omega-3 fatty acids are great supplements to strengthen the heart.

Specific Health Concerns

• Prostate health is a particular concern for all men. A supplement that helps with general prostate health is boron. Men who take boron on a daily level cut their prostate cancer risk by 65 percent. Boron is not found in any multivitamin and needs to be taken separately.
