How to Select the Best Testosterone Support Product

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2019

What is Testosterone Support or a “Testo Booster”?

Testosterone was ‘discovered’ by Dr. Charles Brown-Sequard in 1889, but it wasn’t actually named until 1935. The scientists involved, Ruzicka and Butenandt, won a Nobel Prize that same year for making the hormone suitable for commercial use. 7

Women Swooning

Men experience a natural decline in the amount of testosterone produced by our bodies over time. Hypogonadism is the term which indicates that a man is producing either a low amount of or no testosterone. This is obviously significant in a number of ways, since the hormone plays a key role in sexual libido, muscle and bone development, immune system functioning, and red blood cell reproduction, among other things. 3 As you get older you may notice a decline in your sex drive, a decrease in your muscle strength, and a shortage of energy. 11

One possibility for dealing with these symptoms is testosterone therapy. This involves administering testosterone directly, for example, via a gel or powder. 11 However, there’s solid research showing that men over 65 who use testosterone gel have a higher risk of developing heart disease. 1 A 2014 study using rats showed that testosterone therapy can have a negative impact on the prostate. 2 There are other known potential symptoms of this type of supplementation including sleep apnea, acne, breast swelling, and high red blood cell count. 3

You probably have noticed most people going for collagen injections and supplements as a way to fight aging effects. This makes you wonder: What’s so special about it?

It’s basically what holds your body together. So, being insufficient means the likelihood of aging effects and other complications.

Generally, collagen supplementation comes with the following 10 benefits:

Four Certified Facts About Creatine

Wednesday, March 6th, 2019
Creatine and Beta Alanine

Overview: What is creatine and how does it work?

Creatine is an organic compound primarily found in vertebrates, which is an overwhelming biological division that comprises close to 70,000 species, humans included. The reason why creatine is mostly found in these animals is because the substance is crucial to the recycling of energy at a molecular level, especially when it comes to muscle and brain tissue. Despite the fact that we have known about the compound’s beneficial effect on physical performance for over a century, creatine only came to our attention in the 1990s, when several Olympic medallists disclosed that creatine loading was part of their dietary protocol.

Lose Fat, Stay Healthy

When it comes to bodybuilding and improving your physique there are many things that can help you.

There are many different supplements you can choose from these days if you want to build muscle and lose fat – all you need to do is determine the best ones for you so you can achieve the strong and healthy body you have always wanted. For instance, one well known and popular supplement is beta-alanine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid that’s naturally produced in the body. However, there are many versions of this supplement from many manufacturers so it’s hard to determine which is the best.

It’s vital to read and learn about these supplements to be well informed about what you need. Whether you are looking for vitamins, testosterone boosters, protein supplements, or HGH, you need to be sure you make the right choices.  Choosing the right supplements is vital for many reasons.

This is not just in terms of achieving the results you want when it comes to your body but also ensuring you don’t adversely affect your health into the bargain. For many people, the cost is important because they want to spend as little as possible but when it comes to supplements there are many other factors you have to consider in addition to the cost.

Veda Soothe Review – Dr. Darling and Clarity Nutrition’s Supplement For Joint Pain

Monday, October 1st, 2018

healthy coupleVeda Soothe Review: Does This Supplement Really Work?

Joint pain has been an issue for humankind since the dawn of time, especially as the means of comfort advanced and people switched from hunters and gatherers to couch sitters and television channel surfers. The lack of motion and the decreased amounts of physical exercise people have been getting has caused a decline in the efficiency of the parts in our body responsible for lubricating the space between joints. Since joints have to move regardless of whether or not they are lubricated, the absence of a lubricant subjects the bones to an increased level of friction that eventually leads to the inflammation of those bones.

Needless to mention, inflammation causes pain; in addition, it also shuts down the bones’ healing process before it even begins. When joints are inflamed, the chance of friction and its intensity increase by a long shot so, any movement would be like taking three steps back in the healing process. Now, because it is quite the challenge to stay completely still for enough time for your joints to heal since life is a fast-paced game where everyone constantly has something to do or somewhere to be, Clarity Nutrition has come up with Veda Soothe that is claimed to be able to help speed up the recovery process among a number of other benefits that it provides for our health and physical well-being.

What Are the Benefits of Krill Oil?

Tuesday, May 29th, 2018

Healthy CoupleFor decades, Fish Oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids has been revered as the best fat for building health and healing properties.  Many of us take omega-3 supplements to ensure our intake of the all-important DHA (docosahexaenoic) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic) acids while eliminating the dangers of consuming too many heavy metals and contaminants.

Can Men Safely Take Biotin for Hair Growth?

hair loss

Hair loss is not an alien phenomenon to us humans, as everyone loses hair at different degrees every day. As strands of hair fall out, new ones grow back to replace them, and the cycle continues.

 

However, in some men, these hair strands fall out, and none sprouts to replace them. As many as 85% of men will have a kind of hair loss at least once in their lifetime. Hair loss affects both men and women and the older we get, the higher our risk of developing it.

 

Recent studies have shown that hair loss affects 40% of men by the age of 35, 60% of men at 60, and 80% of men at the age of 80.

 

Hair loss may just be a physical symptom, but it may lead to emotional and psychological problems such as reduced self-esteem, depression, and social anxiety. That’s why it is a serious issue to men. (more…)

Look Like a Bodybuilder

A human body is made up of different physical parts that come together to form a complex system. All these body parts will not be able to function if they are not facilitated by certain chemical bodies such as enzymes and hormones. These chemical bodies exist both in males and females and allow the body to perform various different functions. There are growth hormones, sexual hormones, and reproductive hormones among many others. The hormonal activity in a human body within itself is a very complicated one. It is important that the hormone level is maintained at a certain level in order for your body to be able to perform its functions normally.
