Declining testosterone levels
A 60-year-old man can have up to 40% lower testosterone concentration compared to his "younger self". This is because testosterone concentration in most men declines at a rate of 1-2% per year after the age of 30. The decline varies from individual to individual and is due to changes in the flow of male sex hormones (androgens). Testosterone is often described as the male sex hormone and plays an important role in emotional and physical well-being.
The male menopause
Testosterone levels are thus affected by the simple and natural fact that we are getting older. But our lifestyle also plays a role, for example, weight gain and lack of exercise can affect testosterone levels. In science, reduced testosterone production has been labelled as the male "andropause", i.e. the male equivalent of the female menopause. Symptoms associated with this include reduced energy levels, poorer concentration, weight gain and reduced sex drive.
Natural composition that contributes
Fenugreek Man is designed for men aged 30 and over. Through its composition, it balances and supports male functions such as testosterone levels, physical and mental presence, muscle function, energy metabolism and protein composition. Zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels. Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis and has a role in cell division, as well as contributing to normal energy metabolism and muscle function. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
ZMA
Fenugreek Man contains ZMA which stands for Zinc and Magnesium originally but often vitamin B6 is also added. Vitamin B6 is involved in nerve signalling, protein metabolism and hormone regulation in the body, among other things, which makes it a good match for zinc and magnesium. ZMA is a popular combination for people who exercise as the substances are involved in muscle-building processes.
