Men's One Daily - 30 Tabs

Men's Health

Men's health is being compromised by the presence of estrogenic compounds in our environment. They come from pesticides, plastics and residues of estrogenic drugs, like women's contraceptives. They have already been shown to feminize fish and other species, sometimes to the extreme of making them infertile and compromising the persistence of their species. Studies on human male sperm counts over several generations show that the number of viable sperm is decreasing. This should be a concern to everyone because it may one day lead to the extinction of our species.

The liver and bowels are important organs for men's health because they are responsible for processing hormones and excreting processed hormones. Performing liver and bowel detoxification will help to decrease some men's health concerns by ensuring proper functioning of these organs and thereby allowing the processing of estrogenic compounds. The thyroid and adrenal glands form an axis with the testes to regulate sexual functioning within the overall health of the man. This explains why other medical concerns such as hypothyroidism, stress and depression can lead to infertility.

A diet high in animal products is high in saturated fats and may contain estrogenic chemicals. Fat cells contain enzymes that convert testosterone to estrogen. The more fat cells a man has the more testosterone can be converted. Estrogenic chemicals are found in meat and dairy products for several reasons. The animals are consuming feed and water that contains estrogenic environmental by-products. They may also be given hormones to speed growth and maturation. Free range and organic animal products are a better choice because they do not contain estrogenic compounds from drugs. Their feed and water is usually also monitored for such substances.

Animal protein also compromises detoxification by slowing intestinal transit time. A man whose diet is high in animal products is absorbing more processed toxins and fats from his intestines.

Environmental toxins concentrate in the food and water supply and are transferred into men's bodies. Tap water contains estrogens that are excreted by females and that come from chemical runoff. Use a water filtration system that removes these compounds. Minimize your exposure to lawn chemicals and industrial chemicals. Use all necessary precautions when you do handle chemicals.

Plastics are a major source of estrogenic compounds. They leach into food and water when it is stored or heated in containers. Male children are first exposed to estrogens in this way through plastic bottles, bottle liners, soothers and teething toys. Most parents are constantly sterilizing these products and each time they heat the plastic it becomes more susceptible to breaking down.

In order to minimize your exposure to plastic estrogens substitute glassware for plastic whenever possible. Do not cook or warm food in plastic containers (even ones that say microwave safe!).

Do not place leftovers into plastic storage containers until they have cooled. Do not use plastic water bottles or reuse single use water bottles. Do not place hot beverages in plastic cups. Look for phthalate-free teething toys.

Stress leads to a build up of acidity in the body. When the body's pH is acidic detoxification processes do not run as quickly as they could. Stress also depletes vitamins, such as the B complex, which are needed by the liver. Supplemental programs for detoxification and stress management include B vitamins, lipotropic factors, liver supportive herbs, like milk thistle, and adrenal supportive herbs, like Siberian ginseng and licorice.

MegaFood has made whole food supplements for 40 years and we take great pride in knowing we deliver the promise of farm fresh foods to you in every product we make. Doing this is not easy, yet we believe farm fresh whole foods are the best way to deliver authentic nourishment and not just vitamins and minerals alone.

To make dietary supplements that provide the most authentic nourishment possible, we first begin with sourcing fruits, vegetables and whole grains from our Farm Fresh Farm Partners throughout the United States and Canada. We work with family-owned farmers known for their commitment to grow with care and ethical farming practices. Each season we receive freshly harvested foods right at our back door, where they are then rigorously examined for quality, prior to beginning their journey through our privately-owned facility and one-of-kind Slo-Food Process.

To retain the freshness of the foods we source from the farm to each tablet we produce, our Slo-Food Process was designed to be slow and gentle. This means we do not expose the foods to damaging temperatures that diminish the foods nutritional value, nor destroy any of the colorful aromatic compounds that give a freshly harvested food its color, taste and nutritional punch! By preserving freshness of the foods we source, we believe it makes all the difference in our products and your health.
