What are the preventive health products for men?

If it is a health product that is relatively well-evidence-based and used by ordinary men for daily risk prevention, in fact, multivitamins (containing zinc and selenium), lycopene, coenzyme Q10, and high-purity Omega-3 fish oil are reliable. The remaining products that are overwhelmingly advertised as "men's special kidney tonifying" and "improving energy" products, more than 90% of which are IQ tax.

I have several Internet colleagues who are over 30 years old. In the past two years, I stayed up late for three or four months working on projects. They relied on takeout for three meals a day. In their physical examinations, they were either deficient in B complex, had low zinc content, or had slight inflammation of the prostate. Two brothers who were trying to conceive had sperm motility that was just above the passing line. At that time, the doctor prescribed the most common OTC multivitamins, specifically emphasizing that the zinc and selenium content should meet the standard. There is no need to buy the Internet celebrity products that cost hundreds of yuan, just buy a bottle from the drugstore for thirty or forty yuan. Most people take it for two or three months and review it, and the indicators are basically back to the normal range.

As for lycopene, our group of riders have had many arguments before. A man who drives a long-distance truck said that his prostate always swelled due to sitting for a long time. After taking lycopene soft capsules for two months, most of the discomfort disappeared.； There is also a young man who has just turned 25 and has a regular schedule. He has been following the trend for three months and feels nothing. He said it is a complete lie. In fact, the latest research conclusions can also correspond to this difference: the positive effect of lycopene on prostate health is indeed statistically significant, but individual differences are huge. It is indeed difficult for healthy people with no bad habits and no slight discomfort in the prostate to perceive the effect, so there is no need to follow the trend of supplementation.

There are two other products that everyone always thinks are exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, many young men also need supplements. My little boy, who loves to run marathons, trained 10 kilometers every day in preparation for the competition last year. Later in the training, he always felt flustered and chest tight. He went to the cardiology department to check for organic problems, and the doctor asked him to supplement Coenzyme Q10 in advance. Especially for men who exercise at high intensity for a long time or take statins due to blood lipid problems, supplementing in advance can reduce the extra loss of myocardium. There is also high-purity Omega-3 fish oil. For men who often go out to socialize and eat heavy oil and salt, and whose triglycerides have turned red during physical examinations, insisting on eating it can indeed help regulate blood lipids. However, there is also controversy here. Many studies have confirmed that healthy people regularly supplement with Omega-3. In fact, there is no additional health benefit. To put it bluntly, there are related risks. If there is no problem, there is no need to spend money.

By the way, don’t be misled by the advertisements on the e-commerce platform. Not long ago, I helped a relative look at a “Men’s Oyster Kidney Tonic Tablets” sold for 398 a bottle. After looking through the table, I found that the effective zinc content was not as good as ordinary zinc tablets that cost 10 yuan a bottle. I added some sildenafil analogues and boasted that “it takes effect in half an hour.” Eating too much will put an unnecessary burden on the liver and kidneys. If there are any problems in this regard, it is better to go to the men’s department to register directly. It is much more reliable than eating health care products blindly.

After all, health care products are just "supplements". The most effective way to prevent health problems is to stay up late less, exercise more, and eat regularly. If you really want to supplement, check in advance to see if you have corresponding deficiencies or risks. Don't pay the IQ tax by buying online celebrity products.
