Hypogonadism and your Health
It is estimated that over 4 million men in America suffer from Hypogonadism, which is the medical term for low testosterone levels. Hypogonadism is not only responsible for impotence but depression, fatigue, obesity and osteoporosis as well. As men get older, they start producing less and less testosterone and it precursor: DHEA. While women lose their ability to produce estrogen during that relatively short period of time known as menopause, men‘s ability to produce testosterone gradually decreases year after year for the rest of their lives.
Testosterone and Muscle Mass
Testosterone is a necessary building block for muscle mass in men. It is also vital for strong bones, a healthy heart and is believed to help regulate cholesterol levels. Low levels of testosterone have also been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
While estrogen is primarily a female hormone, men also have a certain amount of this hormone in their body just as women have some testosterone in theirs. As a man’s testosterone level drops, his estrogen levels actually begin to rise due to the presence of an aromatase enzyme which converts testosterone into estrogen. This enzyme is stored in your body’s fat cells and once the reaction starts it can become a vicious cycle as you put on more weight and consequently turn more of your testosterone and estrogen which then causes you to put on more weight. This process then puts more stress on your liver which has to struggle to remove any of this excess estrogen from your system. Also, these excess estrogen levels in your system tricks your brain into believing that excess levels of testosterone are being produced as well causing it to send out signals to further cut down on testosterone production.
Ways to increase your testosterone levels
If you are looking to increase your testosterone levels there are several different creams, gels, patches, injections that you can try. There are even a few so called “miracle cures” that you have undoubtedly already seen advertised. The problem with taking testosterone orally is that it may damage your liver and decrease the levels of good cholesterol in your system.
A good herbal remedy that you can try is saw palmetto .
Saw Palmetto is found to help keep your testosterone from being converting into dihydrotesterone otherwise known as DHT. High levels of DHT have been linked to several health problems including prostate cancer. It has also been known to cause male pattern baldness.
Saw Palmetto is one of the ingredients in Zenerect - the best herbal sexual enhancement pill.

Natural ways for men to increase their libido
While a lot of men are opting for the little blue wonder pill, there are many natural supplements out there that can also help increase both your drive and desire. On top that that, these nature based supplements can also help make you feel happy and healthy while at the same time not have any nasty side effects such a erection that lasts longer than four hours.
Here are the best supplements that men can take to increase their libido:
L argentine
Many holistic health experts believe that Argentine is perhaps the most effective natural substance a man can take in order to increase his libido. This is because this nutrient can help ensure proper nitric oxide levels during peak sexual performance. Nitric Oxide is important for male performance because it helps them maintain and sustain an erection by helping to relax smooth penile muscles during sexual stimulation and increase blood flow to the penis. A 1994 study found that man given 2.8 grams of argentine a day for two weeks, experienced a 80 percent improvement in erectile function.
L. Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine helps keep your brain’s neurotransmitters in good working order helping your body to better handle stress, aging, fatigue. Taking this supplement will help you feel less stressed out, be more alert and in a better mood, all of which can lead to an increased male libido.
Gingko Biloba
While traditionally a supplement for better memory function, Gingko is also a great herbal remedy for male sexual dysfunctions because of its ability to improve blood flow throughout the body.
Ginseng
Used in traditional Chinese medicine for many thousands of years, ginseng (most commonly Korean Ginseng) is a powerful adaptogen that can help keep you sexually balanced and feeling revitalized, As an adaptogen, this herb can help you handle emotional stress and fatigue much better making sexual performance easier. Korean Ginseng is also a powerful energy booster, giving you more drive in the bedroom. Ginseng has also been found to help balance your hormones, boost your metabolic rate as well as help increase blood flow to the genitals.
Selenium
Nearly 50% of the selenium present in a man’s body can be found in testes and seminal ducts. This is because this mineral is important for sperm production and mobility. Since men are depleted of a lot of their selenium when they ejaculate, it is important to be getting enough of it in order to maintain peak sexual performance and libido.
Zinc
Your body needs ample supplies of zinc in order to produce testosterone: the all important male sexual hormone. Zinc deficiency can lead to a number of sexual dysfunctions including sperm abnormalities and prostate disease. Getting enough Zinc will help you maintain a healthy sperm count and keep your sex drive up.
Magnesium
This trace mineral is vital for the production of important sex drive hormones such as androgen and androgen. It also helps in the production of dopamine and epinephirine: neurotransmitters that help modulate sex drive.
Essential Vitamins
Getting enough Vitamin A will help with the synthesis of the sex hormone progesterone. Thiamine (B1) is an important vitamin for nerve transmission and energy production. Vitamin C helps with the synthesis of sex and fertility hormones. Vitamin E, known as the “sex vitamin” helps synthesize hormones and hormone like substances such as prostaglandin.

The health benefits of actual sarsaparilla root
Anybody who is a fan of old westerns knows the stereotype of the old timer in the salon asking for a sarsaparilla. Aside from whiskey and beer, this old fashioned cousin of root beer was a favorite drink in the old west. Made from a combination of sassafras and sarsaparilla, it was especially tasty and refreshing drink in the hot dry day and was thought to help purify the body by inducing sweating. This saloon drink went on to become a popular soft drink flavor, and can still be found in specialty stores today, although most are now made with artificial ingredients.
Before is became synonymous with the old west, sarsaparilla’s detoxifying benefits were utilized for a number of ailments including liver disease and syphilis. Native to the Western Hemisphere and favoring the hot and dry climates of Latin and South America, Sarsaparilla was first introduced to Europe during the late fifteenth century. From the 16th Century up until the middle Eighteen Hundreds, Europeans and their American Descendents put the thorny wooden vine to use as a blood purifier, tonic diuretic and sweat inducer.
During the latter half of the Nineteenth Century until the early Twentieth, Sarsaparilla was widely used as an additive to many patent medicines, including many who which were the Victorian Age equivalents to body building supplements and Viagra. This was due to the notion that the root actually contained testosterone. This one time belief that the herb actually contained the hormone that helped controlled a man’s sex drive may help explain why it was also so popular with the old timers in the saloons (many of which doubled as brothels).
While modern research has disproved the idea of actual male hormones in the plant, they did find steroidal saponins which are believed to mimic hormones, indicating that the cowboys and snake oil peddlers might have been on to something after all.
Today, sarsaparilla is prescribed by homeopathic practitioners as a treatment inflammation and to help cleanse the liver. With slight anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it can also be used as a treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Dried sarsaparilla root can be found in many health food stores and if you look hard enough, you just might be able to find old timey sarsaparilla soda also.
