Supporting Your Health as a Man

Today's typical American diet consists substantially of processed and nutrient-depleted foods and ingredients. The fast-paced and convenience-based world we live in makes living a healthy lifestyle feel like a marathon of keeping up with the constantly changing dietary and wellness trends, the financial and time expenses of investing in healthy living, and the discipline required to resist the urges of tempting quick-fixes and lifestyle shortcuts. Men following the standard "Western" or "American" diet face these challenges among many others that are not always addressed sufficiently.

The Problem

Men, specifically, have a lot of specialized needs that are not addressed in many generic multivitamins or are not sufficiently supportive. Men have roles and expectations put upon them by society, balancing a career and a family, making time for a social life and hobbies, and maintaining social expectations of vitality and performance. This can make finding time to support overall health hard to find and difficult to begin.

Why a Multivitamin?

A men's multivitamin addresses a multitude of the concerns faced by men when seeking to enhance and embark on a healthier lifestyle in an effort to obtain their optimal health. Multivitamins are effective, efficient, and an easy addition to a fast-paced and hectic schedule, and can be a simple way to introduce higher levels of vitamins and nutrients into the diet.

Folic Acid

Folic acid may help to improve the body's blood cell formation and in copying the DNA for new cells. Folic acid may also help to prevent heart disease, as it prevents the build-up of homocysteine, which is a substance that builds necessary proteins in your body but can also lead to heart and blood vessel disease if produced excessively.¹

Vitamin B-12

Vitamin B-12 may help to improve the body's ability to make red blood cells as well, and may also aid in neuronal function (cells in the brain and nervous system). Many men do not get enough B-12, which is an important nutrient that is often deficient in men who are vegetarian --as it is most commonly found in animal-derived products -- and individuals 50 or older --as aging can decrease the body's ability to absorb B-12 well from the diet and supplements are easier for aging bodies to absorb. Older men specifically may have a higher need for B-12 due to its abilities in improving brain health, the nervous system, and memory.¹

Vitamin D

Calcium may help to improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis, reduce cell inflammation, and improve the immune system. Calcium can be useful in men who do not get sufficient sunlight (living in northern areas or are often homebound), are of African-American, Hispanic, or Asian-American descent, are obese, have inflammatory bowel disease, or have had gastric bypass surgery.¹
