Best vitamins and supplements for men

Healthspan offers a variety of men's health supplements, which aim to address common health problems men can experience.

Saw Palmetto Complete (90 capsules, 160mg) is an advanced combination of saw palmetto extract, pumpkin seed oil, tomato extract, selenium and zinc. Saw Palmetto is a palm plant, the berries of which are rich in plant sterols and fatty acids. It has been used in traditional native American medicine to treat various male health problems and to help maintain a healthy prostate. Read more about the benefits of saw palmetto.

Meanwhile, selenium and zinc are two key minerals for men's sexual health – selenium is needed for a healthy prostate and the manufacture of sperm, while zinc is important for fertility and healthy blood levels of testosterone.

Healthspan's High Strength Lycopene (60 capsules) contains 15mg of lycopene – a carotenoid and the bright pigment that gives tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables their colour. It's thought that lycopene contributes to the maintenance of the healthy function of the prostate. Healthspan's lycopene is sourced from non-GMO tomato species, specially selected for their high lycopene levels. Read more about the benefits and uses of lycopene.

As men get older, they can often suffer from bladder problems. The Bladder Support with Go-Less supplement (60 capsules) contains pumpkin seed extract and soy germ extract, which have been shown in studies to decrease nocturia (frequent nighttime urination) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, maintain good bladder function and urinary flow¹ and help with the symptoms of an overactive bladder.

In addition to Go-Less, this bladder support supplement contains vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, and vitamin D, which contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.

Men's supplement and vitamin benefits

Taking Healthspan's men's health supplements can help with various health issues, including tiredness and low energy, libido and fertility. As men age, bladder problems become common, with nocturia being the most frequent bladder problem among older men. Healthspan's Saw Palmetto Complete and Bladder Support with Go-Less are both aimed at improving prostate health and may help with nocturia. Read more about nocturia.

Although supplements can help with some health problems, they can't replace a healthy balanced diet. For advice on the nutrients all men should include in their diet, see our guide to the best vitamins and supplements for men.

When should men take supplements and vitamins?

Men who are struggling to conceive a child with their partner may benefit from taking zinc and/or selenium supplements, as these are both important for fertility and sperm production. Additionally, men over the age of 50 who are suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia or bladder problems may benefit from taking Saw Palmetto and Bladder Support with Go-Less.

Those who are taking medication or have any medical conditions should always consult their GP before starting a new supplement.
