Vigor

Declining testosterone levels occur as men age.  Clinically low levels have been reported in as many as 39% men over 45 years old.  The decline in testosterone in men can play a role in developing weight gain, insulin resistance, erectile dysfunction & decreased libido, cardiovascular conditions, memory/cognitive decline, muscle loss, insomnia, cancer, and increased mortality.  40% of men by age 50, and more than 70% of men by age 60, have prostate issues. 

Vigor includes powerful ingredients to support healthy male performance and aging, including:

• Eurycoma longifolia: has been used for centuries in SE Asia as a traditional medicine for male sexual health and is reported to improve testosterone levels and decrease cortisol. 
• Tribulus:  has been known to reduce symptoms of angina, enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction, and infertility.
• Saw palmetto: is from a berry extract that inhibits an enzyme that blocks DHT from working.  Studies show it helps increase DHT, and may reduce prostate swelling. It has also been shown to inhibit estrogen and smooth muscle constriction at the prostate outlet.
• Zinc: low zinc levels are associated with an increase in prostate disease. Zinc is a potent antioxidant, and it blocks aromatase, thereby decreasing the conversion of androgens to estrogen. It also blocks conversion to DHT. Zinc levels are high in prostate tissue and zinc is needed for sperm production.
• Citrilline:  has been shown in studies to boost nitric oxide production in the body. Nitric oxide helps your arteries relax and work better, which improves blood flow throughout your body. Studies indicate that Citrilline may ease symptoms of mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction, improve slow wound healing due to diabetes, improve muscle protein levels, and prevent malnourishment in the elderly.
• Ashwaganda: was used in Indian medicine to “balance life forces” during stress and aging. It is energy-promoting and has been found to have anti-stress benefits.  It may also help insomnia by promoting relaxation.
• Fenugreek:   Traditionally, fenugreek seeds have been reported to be useful in hormonal regulation, in particular for male impotence.  Fenugreek seeds are rich in steroidal compounds, including diosgenin, which is an important precursor for the synthesis of a number of sex hormones. Studies on fenugreek seeds extracts support their effectiveness in promoting increased testosterone, lean body mass, and endurance capacity.
• CoQ10:  CoQ10 a powerful antioxidant that is in virtually all cells in the body, but is mostly concentrated in the mitochondria, or the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. Studies have shown it may increase sperm motility, improving male fertility, and increase athletic performance.
