November has been designated as Men’s Health Awareness Month and Biochem can provide some great product options to address some of the challenges men (or the man in your life) may face as they work toward maintaining their best overall health.
Exercise and working out are usually at the top of the list when we think of “good health” however sometimes we forget to provide the body necessary nutrients to recover and rebuild muscle after those workouts. Here are a couple things you might consider.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA)BCAA’s are the amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine and these amino acids are 3 of the 9 amino acids that are considered “essential” – which means they must be consumed because the body can’t make them and must be consumed, either in food or supplements. BCAA’s support protein synthesis and muscle recovery. It is recommended if you are using a supplement that the BCAA’s have the ratio of 2:1:1 (L-Leucine: L-Isoleucine: L-Valine), which supports optimal utilization. Biochem’s BCAA supplement is KETO friendly, Vegan, mixes easily and has the recommended 2:1:1 ratio of those key amino acids.
L-GlutamineRecognized as the MOST abundant “free” form amino acid in the body, concentrated in muscle tissue, L-Glutamine plays many roles when it comes to health. Not only is L-Glutamine important for supporting muscle tissue, it also plays a major role in the production of glutathione, an important antioxidant in the body. The Biochem Glutamine Pure is an excellent choice because it is an easy to mix, pharmaceutical grade powder that is KETO friendly, Vegan and contains no GMO’s.
TestosteroneOne health challenge for men over 50 (although younger men can experience issues as well), is a decrease in testosterone levels. As men age, free testosterone levels naturally decrease - and by the time men are in their 40’s, they start to lose about 1% of their free testosterone levels every year. Testosterone is important for a lot of different functions. It’s good for supporting lean muscle, for energy, vitality, vigor and promotes sexual desire. While declining levels of testosterone is a normal part of aging, many men want energy and vigor to enjoy life.
It is always recommended to check with your Health Care Provider to see what your testosterone levels are before taking any supplementation. If it’s decided that taking something to boost testosterone might be the right option for you, it’s important to choose a quality supplement. Biochem has a natural testosterone booster called TEST which contains a key ingredient, Testofen®, which is a clinically studied fenugreek extract shown to support an increase in free testosterone levels. It supports energy, vitality, vigor, sexual desire, and lean muscle mass when combined with strength training and/or exercise. Not only will you get this amazing fenugreek extract, TEST also includes vitamin D, so it can even help support bones.
Supplementing with any or all three of these amazing Biochem products can provide key nutrients to take you to your #NextLevelLiving goals.
