Sex hormones play an important role in men's health. Disruptions in this system can have negative implications throughout the body.
Male sex hormones are essential for supporting various bodily systems, including muscle strength, metabolism, bone density, and energy levels. Boosting these hormones leads to a cascade of positive effects in all of these areas, ultimately resulting in improved cognitive and physical performance. Improved hormone balance also leads to better metabolic efficiency and overall health.
Supplement with Rhodiola Rosea: Rhodiola has been shown to help reduce cortisol levels which impair hormonal balance. (source) Rhodiola rosea inhibits stress-related kinases, modulates the HPA axis, and alters stress-responsive gene expression. It also provides antioxidant and neuroprotective benefits that enhance the body’s ability to manage stress and lower cortisol levels, which leads to improvements in hormonal balance. (source, source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 100 mg of rhodiola rosea daily.
Supplement with Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha's active compounds positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to increases in key sex hormones. (source) Ashwagandha reduces cortisol levels by modulating the HPA axis and by affecting neurotransmitter systems, which helps manage stress and improve overall well-being. These actions reduce cortisol concentrations and improve hormonal balance. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 240 mg of ashwagandha daily.
