OptiMale RX: a Healthier Lifestyle for Men

OptiMale RXThe word testosterone is generally associated with men. Big burly men. It’s what sets them apart from women and keeps them healthy and vital throughout their lifetime. So what happens when a man’s testosterone level starts to decline? As this is happening at a faster rate in men than ever before, OptiMale Inc. and Dr. Richard Cohen have produced an herbal supplement, OptiMale RX to help counteract this problem.

Testosterone
Testosterone is a powerful anabolic hormone that stimulates and controls the development of muscle, bone, skin, sex organs and most other masculine, physical features. Scientists have recently discovered that this hormone also aids in mental function and enhances visual and perceptual skills. During puberty, testosterone is released in high doses which increases lean muscle mass, sex organ development, bone formation and higher energy levels. Testosterone levels peak during a man’s early to mid twenties and then starts to decrease as they age. By the time the average man reaches 60, he will have lost almost 50% of his testosterone supply. Stress, lack of sleep, physical inactivity, the use of prescription medication and drinking can also add to the decline in testosterone levels. 

The Effects of Low Testosterone
A report in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism states that men are displaying significantly lower levels of testosterone than they had 10 to 20 years ago. The signs of low testosterone include fatigue, depression, low sex drive, irritability, loss of motivation, insomnia and weight gain. In addition, researchers at the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine conducted a long-term study that found men with low testosterone had a 33% higher risk of death compared to men with higher levels.

Getting Tested
Even though more than 40 million men suffer from low testosterone, few of them receive treatment. If a man experiences two or more of the above symptoms, they should get tested. However, when checking testosterone levels, doctors generally only test  total testosterone (protein-bound), which remains relatively stable over time. So when going to the doctor men should specifically ask to have their bio-available (free) testosterone assessed, which generally declines at a rate of 2% each year beginning at age 30. Or if they prefer, men can conduct a salivary assessment at home, with OptiMale Inc’s Testosterone Health Check. The latter option offers a non-invasive, painless, less expensive alternative to blood testing.

Once low testosterone levels have been identified, adjustments can be made in lifestyle and diet to help counteract the harmful effects, such as exercising more, eating properly, taking vitamins and minerals, reducing alcohol intake, getting plenty of sleep, receiving more sunlight exposure and eliminating stress. In addition, high quality prohormone-free herbal supplements such as OptiMale Rx testosterone support formula are a positive option for men whose levels are out of balance, but not yet seriously deficient.

OptiMale RX contains a propriety blend that acts as an anti-aromatase, which decreases estrogen levels in males an average of 50% everywhere in the body. Yes estrogen. As testosterone decreases with age and lifestyle, these factors also increase the levels of estrogen in men, creating an imbalance that brings about debilitating health problems associated with normal aging.

OptiMale RX consists of:
*Tribulus terrestris – releases luteinizing hormones in the body signaling testicles to naturally produce more testosterone.
*Fenugreek – also increases the amount of luteinizing hormones in the body and  supports increased libido, reduction of insulin levels and support for healthy levels of testosterone.
*White Button Mushroom – helps to decrease estrogen formation and signals the testes to start producing more testosterone.
*Maca root – promotes increased sexual function and vitality, boosts energy levels, physical stamina and strength. Also works with the body’s metabolism to restore balance and reduces the effects of stress, providing for top energy levels and optimum health.
*Nettle root – lowers the levels of “bound” testosterone and raises levels of “free” testosterone. Also promotes prostate health, maintains low estrogen levels and increases physical and sexual stamina.
*Zinc – the most critical mineral in the body for promoting healing, tissue repair and muscle growth, as well as testosterone production at the testicular levels.

A Better Way of Life
Once men with low testosterone levels make changes to their lifestyle and start incorporating supplements like OptiMale RX in their daily routine, they should begin to notice the following benefits of healthy hormone levels:

•  Improved mood and overall sense of well-being.
•  Increased muscle mass and strength
•  An enhanced sex drive and function.
•  Better memory, concentration and visual acuity.
•  Improved cardiac health through the natural reduction of cholesterol,
    blood pressure and blood sugar.
•  Increased tolerance to stress.
•  Stronger bones.

Changing negative habits and taking OptiMale RX can greatly improve a man’s quality of life and help stave off persistent health issues. For more information on OptiMale RX and the Testosterone Health Check go to www.checkmytestosterone.com.
