Male Health Zone

i got a pack of multi vitamins called GNC Men’s Mega Men® Performance & Vitality Program and i would like to know when to take them because it does not say on the box

Ask the doc.

Normally all vitamins r to be taken after the food.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

I can’t seem to enjoy televison nor being online without an ad about male enhancement. I know I’m not the only one feeling like this.

haha we were watching a tv show in class today and one came on

Iv asked before but just wondering if anyone has yet to try them and have results? Just wondering bored.

I’ve only used whey protein and eaten a bulkload of protein filled foods, that’s all you need.

Really is.

(Along with a hardcore workout regiment) But, you need that if you wanted results anyway.

and how old should a man be before he needs to start taking it?

Age doesn’t matter, body function does. It is possible for a man to have prostate problems at any age. Signs of prostate problems would be leakage of urine, waking up with a wet bed, or wet underwear, burning when urinating, or uncomfortable feeling in groin. This is a good vitamin, Prostate Essentials Plus. here are two sources of info: http://www.lycopene.com and/or http://www.seleniumselect.com.

What’s a very good vitamin for men in their mid 40th’s (47yrs old)?

I’m 45, I finally found a fantastic vitamin, its even gental on your stomach, It also does not make u jittery, Its called Men’s Energy its by Rainbow light all natuarl its great i can’t give it enough praise, you can buy it at a pharmacy brooks or maybe wallgreens or try the inernet.

Since she put on the pounds things seem to have gotten shorter.

Do these products actually help in lengthening the male genital

I don’t think they work sounds like if things were fine before she gained weight you are not the problem it’s her so maybe get her a treadmill or thigh master .

Or audition her for the Biggest loser show they really know how to motivate fat people on that show.

If so which ones? I’m in my mid 30′s and just started working out again, and I want to build muscle mass. Am I better off just sticking to the weights without anything or would a supplement help me put on some extra muscle and increase my strength at a greater rate?

You don’t necessarily need supplements to build lean muscle mass. You can still stick to whole foods and quality protein foods. Complex carbohydrates ie whole oats, sweet potatoes, essential fatty acids ie olive oil, fish oil, also available from oily fishes like salmon and lean protein ie chicken/turkey breast, egg whites, fish, lean beef should form part of your diet.

A supplement is for convenience because sometimes you can’t cook 4-6 meals per day. Also a supplement is important for post workout. When your muscles are depleted after a grueling workout, you need to replenish them and a protein shake does the job much more easier and faster than whole foods. A liquid meal is advised and a protein like whey protein shake can get absorbed quickly and easily in your muscles, repair and give them amino acids and vital nutrients for growth. So if you are weight training, I would recommend a combination of whole foods and supplements like whey protein powder.

A year ago my husband was in great shape. He was mountain climbing, kayaking, and backpacking. Although he is only 27 years old, his health has drastically declined in the past year. We’ve been to multiple doctors and have yet to have anyone give a diagnosis or even any suggestions. I’m not sure if these things are related to one another, but does anyone have any idea?

He has always had very bad neck pain, at the base of his skull. There is a lump there that I don’t have on my own neck. He describes it as feeling very tight, almost a pulling, and a lot of headaches originate from the area. His doctor referred him to a chiropractor but after a year of seeing him it didn’t help. Like yoga, it felt better for an hour and then started to hurt again. It has been getting worse lately.

About a year ago he suddenly had difficulty urinating, and we found out that he has an enlarged prostate. We’ve been to 3 doctors reguarding that and they don’t know what is wrong. He had blood work done and they don’t think it is cancer. Beyond that, they don’t know why it is enlarged. He has some trouble urinating now (it trickles) but other wise it doesn’t seem to be causing too many problems.

He has severe abdominal pain (ribcage and pelvic area) and describes it as feeling like he has swallowed "rocks or razor blades".

Four months ago his lung collapsed while he was sitting on the couch with our son. He was in the hospital for a few days, and has never felt entirely better after that.

Lately he is always very tired and listless, every night he feels like he has just climbed a 14,000 foot peak. It seems to be getting steadily worse.

Thanks Barb!

He was on antibiotics for awhile, I forget how long. I think it was a bit over a month, and then the next specialist we saw took him off of them.

I know that his tests for infection all came back negative. They also ran dye through him and took radiographs… I don’t think they found anything with that, either.

As for the neck and back problems… they took radiographs, said that it did look "tight" or something, and then told him to see a chiropractor. I wish they would do an MRI or other things. When we went in with his collapsed lung they almost told him it was nothing, that he was too young to have problems.
It is frustrating because doctors don’t seem to take us seriously. He isn’t the type of person who complains about nothing – when he broke his clavical he didn’t take his pain meds, same after his lung collapsed. He has a high tollerance for pain, so when he complains about this (which is now daily) it really worries me.

His neck also cracks and clicks when he moves it, and he says it feels like he can feel "bone hitting bone" – so herniated disc is a good one to look into, I think?
I thought about diet, too.

We are vegeterians, so I’m very careful to make sure that we are getting enough protein and B vitamins.

He is somewhat a healthnut, so we usually avoid artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oil, excessive sodium, etc.

I went over our diet with a friend who has her masters in nutrition, and she didn’t catch anything.

Sometimes I still wonder though…

If he has prostatitis, and it sounds like he does (an infection of the prostate) that would account for his enlarged prostate, abdominal pain and slow stream. What did the doctor do for that? He should have been put on an extended course of antibiotics (for 3 weeks to 3 months). The severe abdominal pain along with this makes me wonder if it is not a prostate abscess or perhaps kidney stones which could also account for the fatigue. Has he had a CT scan, MRI, any x-rays at all? The neck pain makes me question a herniated disc. This is quite a wide constellation of symptoms. I would try going to a tertiary care center if you live in the U.S. like a teaching hospital at a University, Mayo Clinic, etc. for a full workup.

How many carbs are in most multi-vitamins for men? I used to take One a Day Carb Smart but they took it out of their lineup.

vitamins and minerals contain zero calories

I tried several male enhancement pills and most of them are junk. Any one tried a male enhancement that really works?

Hi. I was in the same boat as yours. I wasted lot of money on these stupid pills and nothing seem to work. Then one of my friends recommend me a product named Firminite. This product really works. I took two capsules the first time and I was able to see myself hard in about 30 minutes. I loved it man!!! I think there website is www.firminite.com. I got their 8 pack special after trying it out. Great product. I highly recommend it. Good luck bro!
