While there may be some moral benefits to abstinence, there is now conclusive proof that having regular and enjoyable sexual activity offers a host of health benefits for men and women.

One of the most credible and comprehensive studies conducted by Queens University in Belfast tracked the mortality of 1,000 middle aged men over the course of a decade. The study was published in the 1997 British Medical Journal, in which men who reported the greatest frequency of orgasms had a death rate of half from the stragglers. There are other studies that show that having sex even a few times per week has an affect on the following:

-An improved sense of smell: Production of the hormone prolactin surges after sex, which in turn develops new neurons in the brain’s olfactory smell center.

-A reduction for risk of heart disease: There was a follow up to the Queens University study which showed that men who had sex three or more times per week, reduced their risk of heart attack or stroke by half.

-Overall fitness and weight loss: Sex, can be considered exercise. A vigorous jaunt can burn about 200 calories or about the same as running 15 minutes on a treadmill. The pulse rate of an aroused person rises up to 150 beats per minute from 70, the same as an athlete in training. Muscular contractions during sex work the pelvis, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck, and thorax. Sex also increases testosterone production which leads to stronger muscles and bones.

-Depression reduction: Prostoglandin, a hormone which is found in semen, can be absorbed in the female genital tract thus regulating female hormones.

-Pain relief: Levels of the hormone oxytocin increase up to five times their normal level right before orgasm, which in turn releases endorphins that alleviate anything from a simple headache to arthritis. In women this can even reduce symptoms of PMS.

-Less Colds and Flu: A study conducted at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania shows that individuals who have sex once or twice per week have 30% increased level of immunoglobulin A, which boosts the immune system.

To keep your body healthy for sexual activity a good multi-vitamin is recommended. Anti-oxidants such as vitamin A, C, E, and coenzyme Q10 are essential for proper recovery and healthy semen production. Ginkgo Biloba may also help with sexual activity as its ability to improve blood flow to the brain and its antioxidant properties.

Have you ever thought about taking a supplement to build muscle? Or has your sex life taken a dive recently? Either of these situations can be combated with Vitrix. This product, made by Nutrex Research (a company put on the map by its Lipo-6 product), will allow you to gain muscle and have a better sex life due to increased testosterone levels. In the same way Nutrex Lipo-6 is known for its outstanding weight-loss and fat-burning results, bodybuilding has never been easier than it is with Vitrix. While the goals of the two pills are different, the same technology was used in creating both of them. The Vitrix liquid capsule works to achieve results better than other types of supplements, so you can toss that bottle of GABA or EAS creatine mix and take these simple pills to get the results you’re looking for.

How Vitrix Gets Your Groove Back
Vitrix works to enhance sex by increasing that all-important male sex hormone, testosterone. By using extracts from the plant Tribulus terrestris, Vitrix works to regulate the levels of DHEA in the body, creating more testosterone so that your libido is increased. By using this type of supplement at low levels, you’ll be able to experience a rise in your testosterone that translates into a greater sexual experience. The increase in hormone levels, along with the release of nitric oxide (NO) within the body, acts as the sexual prowess booster you’ve been looking for. Whether your sex drive has flagged because you’ve gotten a bit older or because you’ve been using a prohormone, you can easily regain what you once had by using Vitrix.

In a rut? Typically, when you take any sort of prohormone or testosterone supplement, the manufacturer will recommend that you cycle these products. In other words, you’ll take the product for a time, and then you’ll take a temporary sabbatical from it. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re in search of a natural way to boost to your energy level, increase your stamina, or enhance your general sense of well-being, ginseng may be able to help. Of all the natural substances used in traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng is the most highly prized. That’s because it can be used in many forms to treat a wide variety of conditions. In fact, the botanical name for ginseng, Panax quinquefolium, is derived from the Greek word for panacea, or cure-all. The word in Chinese means “wonder of the world.” Read the rest of this entry »

When looking for a testosterone-boosting supplement, how can you decide which to choose? Here we’ll compare some key details about several of them.

Cost
One of the most notable differences among testosterone boosters is the price. Some are much cheaper than others, and if cost is a factor for you, this can be very Read the rest of this entry »

Alfalfa’s powerful properties can be found in its leaf extracts, and it’s chlorophyll from alfalfa leaves that’s the basis of Nature’s Way Chlorofresh. Internal deodorants make it much easier to manage odors that result from incontinence, diarrhea, indigestion, or smells resulting from a colostomy. Since these odors originate inside the body (the digestive tract, to be exact), standard-issue body fresheners or antiperspirants aren’t likely to mask them. Available in both liquid supplement and gel capsule form, Chlorofresh is a natural, safe, and gentle solution for complete internal refreshment. Read the rest of this entry »

Within the health industry’s ongoing debate about hormone replacement therapy, the effectiveness of DHEA continues to be a controversial topic. Some health experts claim that DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) can improve health, longevity, and even combat the signs of aging. Others say that with the appropriate amounts of hormone replacement through diet and supplements, individuals do have a chance to reverse aging and enhance their health.

DHEA, Defined

A hormone naturally produced by your body, DHEA is at its highest levels when you’re in your early 20s. DHEA is necessary for regulating adrenal hormones in the body and helps to synthesize both sex and stress hormones. Read the rest of this entry »

If your bedroom’s been a little chilly lately, maybe it’s not the thermostat that needs adjusting. Whether you’re seeking a bit of extra spice or want to kick-start your libido, supplements might offer the help you seek.

The Right Tool for the Job

The type of supplement you choose will depend on the nature of the problem as well as its probable cause. Here are some of the most popular types of supplements you can use to give your sex life a lift.

• Aphrodisiacs. Many types of supplements are available to boost a flagging libido. You can take them to increase your desire for sex, whether you’re experiencing a lull due to pregnancy hormones, stress in your life, menopause, or any other reason. (If you’re pregnant or breast-feeding, though, be sure to check with your doctor before using a supplement of any kind.) Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re a man whose sex life is missing something, there could be help for you in supplement form. Which type you should try depends largely on the problem you’re having, as well as the cause. To understand how supplements may help your sex life, you first need to determine what may be the root of the problem.

  Hormonal changes. While they’re less common in men than in women, hormonal changes do take place. Whether you call it andropause, male menopause, or a midlife crisis, it’s during this time that you can undergo hormonal changes (such as lower testosterone levels) that can play havoc with your sex life.

  Medical conditions. Many medical conditions can cause erectile dysfunction, which interferes with the act of sex. Experience such a problem once, and you can find yourself in a maddening cycle that can test even the strongest relationship: If sexual organs don’t work properly, the mood is ruined; a fear of future difficulty can dampen your libido. (If the problem is ongoing, it’s a good idea to see your doctor, since impotence can be a symptom of a serious underlying medical condition, such as prostate cancer.) Other types of medical conditions may not directly involve sexual organs but still can interfere with sex. High blood pressure, heart conditions, and more can interfere with the ability or desire to have sex.

Men, it’s true: At this very moment, estrogen is running through your body.

But don’t panic. It’s supposed to be there—a little of it, anyway. A balanced ratio of estrogen to testosterone is actually good for your heart, bones, and, yes, your sex life, too.

Of course, as a man, you don’t want to have high estrogen levels—period. A certain amount of estrogen is necessary and important in males, since a little is needed to maintain a healthy natural production of testosterone.

Too Much of a Good Thing
However, too much estrogen can cause an array of undesirable effects in men. High estrogen levels can lead to low testosterone—definitely not something most men would welcome. Extra estrogen also can compromise a man’s ability to build and maintain muscle mass. What muscles he does have will likely be covered up due to water retention, and by the extra fat stores he’s accumulated—all thanks to that extra estrogen. If that weren’t bad enough, breast development could occur.
