Men’s health

For men’s health there is one approved claim about testosterone — and it is for zinc. The rest gets measured.

Markers: Testosterone · Vitamin D · Ferritin · B12 · LDL +1

The idea

The market for “men’s formulas” is full of promises about tone and libido. We write only what is approved: zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood; selenium to normal spermatogenesis; vitamin D, magnesium and calcium to normal muscle function; B12, folate and magnesium to the reduction of tiredness. Testosterone, vitamin D and ferritin are measured — and when out of range they are for a doctor, not a sachet.

The goals

Zinc dosed by the data — contributing to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.

Vitamin D, magnesium and calcium — contributing to normal muscle function.

Measurable deficiencies covered: vitamin D, ferritin, B12.

A re-test with real numbers: total testosterone, vitamin D, ferritin, lipid profile — for the doctor, if needed.

What the test looks at

The questions look at sleep, training, weight, stress and tiredness — without promising anything about “tone”. With blood results: total testosterone (morning sample; out of range — an endocrinologist), vitamin D, ferritin, vitamin B12, lipid profile, glucose. The protocol covers only the measured deficiencies.

The solutions

From our ingredients

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and to normal fertility and reproduction; selenium to normal spermatogenesis; vitamin D to normal muscle function, bones and the immune system; magnesium to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness; B12 and folate to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; omega-3 (2 capsules) — EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.

Lifestyle — without it, supplements are cosmetics

Strength training 2–3 times a week, 7+ hours of sleep, weight under control, alcohol rarely — these are the factors that influence the markers most.

What to expect

Vitamin D and ferritin are covered in 8–12 weeks and followed at the re-test; about testosterone we promise no values — it is measured and discussed with a doctor.
