June is Men’s Health Month. Whether you’re a man who is searching for answers to his health concerns or a woman who wants to help her brother, father or husband, this information will be enlightening. Discover the underlying cause and natural solution for men’s top 6 health concerns.
Testosterone
As a man, are you worried about having a heart attack? Most people’s first thought is to reach for a cholesterol-lowering drug, but we think differently. There is a better, natural way to truly protect your heart – testosterone. Did you know that optimal testosterone levels help prevent heart attacks? It protects the heart and arteries, and decreases risk of heart disease. It accumulates in the heart twice as much as in normal muscle and five times as much as in the prostate, which is also very receptive to testosterone.

Magnesium
Another big piece of the puzzle in preventing heart disease is magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. Your heart can’t function properly without magnesium. Magnesium prevents muscle spasms of the heart blood vessels, which can lead to a high blood pressure and a heart attack. Magnesium prevents calcium buildup in cholesterol plaque in arteries, which leads to clogged arteries. Click here to learn how magnesium protects your heart.
Vitamin D
Did you know that vitamin D also supports heart health? In the Framingham Heart Study, patients with low vitamin D concentrations had a 60% higher risk of heart disease than those with higher concentrations. (1)
A lot of men are especially concerned about their cholesterol. In fact, it’s estimated that 71 million Americans have high cholesterol; the majority of which have likely been told that it’s due to diet or that they need cholesterol-lowering drugs. Considering that more than 72 million Americans are obese, it comes as no surprise that diet contributes to high cholesterol and triglycerides. But you may be surprised to learn that in addition to an unhealthy diet, the cause for your high cholesterol could be linked to hypothyroidism. Click here to learn why.
As a man ages, so does his prostate gland. This walnut-shaped gland lies below the bladder, in front of the rectum and surrounds part of the urethra. The prostate gland isn’t even a thought to most men up until their late forties. However, oftentimes when a man reaches his fifties he becomes painfully aware of its existence. As the prostate gland ages it begins to swell and grow more than normal, affecting a man’s urinary and sexual health.

As a man, you understand the importance of protecting your prostate at all stages of life. While you see your doctor for regular annual exams, it’s also important that you are always supporting the health of your prostate so that you can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer or any other prostate-related health issues. Dr. Hotze’s Prostate Pro was designed to support all aspects of optimal prostate function in men. It may improve urinary symptoms, such as frequent and/or painful urination; strengthen urinary flow; aids in bladder emptying; increases prostate function; and decreases the urge to urinate at night, thereby improving sleep

As you can see, thyroid and testosterone hormones play a big role in men’s health. As these hormones decline, serious health issues can occur as a result.
