Did you know that nearly 40 percent of men over 40 suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) or low libido? The primary reasons for this can be traced back to a sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, diabetes, prostate cancer treatment, and heart disease. Psychological reasons and anxiety about sex and past performances also play a role in causing ED for many men. If you’re experiencing low libido, declining sexual health, and decreased muscle mass, there are natural methods, including herbs, that can help you restore your testosterone and sex drive to healthy levels.
Implementing natural methods (such as taking supplements and making lifestyle changes) can help balance your hormones for better overall performance across many aspects of your life. Natural testosterone boosters eliminate the dangers often associated with testosterone therapy, such as increased risk of heart attack and becoming dependent on the treatment (which can lead to the shutdown of your body’s own testosterone production). By combining herbal therapies with lifestyle changes, you can naturally raise your free usable testosterone. Actions proven to help include losing weight, reducing alcohol intake, and exercising more.
A Helpful Herb: Fenugreek
Fenugreek, a Mediterranean herb known for improving men’s sexual and prostate health, has several health benefits for men experiencing the effects of aging. It has the ability to promote natural testosterone levels, improve libido, and may even help fight prostate cancer. The key to fenugreek’s power lies in its content of phytochemicals called saponins and sapogenins. Experts credit these phytochemicals with raising testosterone levels and improving libido.
Various studies have highlighted fenugreek’s significant impact on sexual health and testosterone:
- A 2011 clinical study evaluated a formulation containing fenugreek extract and minerals, involving 60 healthy males without ED aged between 25 and 52. The fenugreek group experienced a significant increase in sexual arousal and orgasm and positive effects on muscle strength and energy. The researchers concluded that the formulation has a significant positive effect on the physiological aspects of libido and may help maintain normal testosterone levels.
- A study conducted for a fenugreek supplement manufacturer randomly assigned 60 healthy men to take either a placebo or 300 mg of fenugreek twice a day for eight weeks. At the end of the study, those who took fenugreek showed a significant increase in their testosterone levels compared to the placebo group.
- A second study assessed a combination supplement containing fenugreek, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6, given to 27 men aged between 25 and 50 years. Another 27 men received a placebo. All the participants were in good health, had stable relationships, and did not have erectile dysfunction. At the midpoint and end of the six-week trial, those in the treated group reported higher scores in libido, sexual function, and sexual performance than the placebo group.
Don’t Wait to Experience the Benefits
You don’t need to wait until you have a sexual problem to start reaping the benefits of fenugreek, as the herb also has other positive effects for men. Some research suggests that fenugreek can lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels and help with diabetes and maintaining a healthy metabolism. This Mediterranean herb, popular in Indian cuisine, may also help fight cardiovascular disease. Fenugreek seeds are popular for heartburn and indigestion.
How can you reap fenugreek’s many health benefits? It’s easier to purchase fenugreek in supplement form for consistent consumption, but fresh, frozen, or dried fenugreek can be found in many Indian stores. You can add a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds to your food, swallow them with water, or take them in capsule or powder form. EveryDay Male® is one formulation specifically designed for men that contains fenugreek and several other natural ingredients to help promote libido and natural testosterone levels.
While supplements can help improve your health, it’s important to evaluate other factors that may be causing your loss of sex drive and libido. Losing weight is an excellent first step toward improvement, as it will provide you with more energy, make you feel better, and naturally boost your testosterone. Additionally, reducing alcohol intake can lead to better performance in the bedroom.
Consider incorporating some of these natural testosterone remedies into your daily life to improve your overall well-being.
