Just like women, men can experience various menopausal symptoms once they reach their mid-40s. When the secretion of the male hormone testosterone decreases, muscle strength decreases and body fat increases, making you feel tired and helpless easily. In addition, sexual function also declines, which often leads to frustration or depression.
In order to manage male menopause, it is basically necessary to correct lifestyle habits. Particularly important and easy to start is improving eating habits. It is not simply a matter of eating a lot of foods that are good for men, but it is necessary to carefully select and consume foods that directly help male hormone secretion. Recently, fenugreek seed extract, which has become a hot topic, is one of the male chemical ingredients beneficial to menopausal men’s health.
Fenugreek, one of the oldest plants on earth, has been used as a medicine to improve the bladder and kidneys since ancient times in Africa, the Middle East, and India. In oriental medicine, the kidney is regarded as an organ related to male energy and body aging. In fact, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea recognized fenugreek seed extract as a functional ingredient that can help menopausal health. Food and Drug Administration certification can be obtained when more than 5mg of vitecin, a type of polyphenol that is easy to remove active oxygen, is included.
While previously known male vitality enhancing ingredients such as maca, saw palmetto, and arginine contributed to sperm activity or prostate health in the short term or indirectly, fenugreek seed extract suggests a more fundamental and long-term management method. In a human application test published in the authoritative international journal ‘The Aging Male’, the total testosterone and free testosterone of the intake group increased, and the AMS (Aging Male Symptom) score was also improved.
Testosterone, the male hormone, declines by about 1% each year from the age of 30. Menopausal symptoms, which begin when hormone levels decrease by half or less, are a natural flow of aging. If physical and mental changes have appeared enough to be conscious, it is time to develop a healthy lifestyle and consume foods that help produce male hormones and alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as fenugreek seed extract.
