Men's Health Recommendations

A selection of supplements covering nutrients relevant to men across the range, including several with authorised roles in the body. Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood; magnesium and the B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and bones. These are authorised EU health claims.

The range spans vitamin D3, B12 and B complex, zinc, magnesium, vitamin E, omega-3 and a multivitamin, alongside L-arginine and grape seed extract, for which no health claims have been authorised. Available as capsules and softgels.

Frequently asked questions

Which nutrients here have authorised roles relevant to men? Popular
Several nutrients in this range carry authorised EU health claims. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and to normal fertility and reproduction. Magnesium and the B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal bones. These are authorised EU health claims.

These apply to men and women alike — the nutrients themselves are not sex-specific — but some are grouped here because they are among the ones men most often ask about.
Does zinc boost testosterone?
It is worth being precise here, because the authorised claim and the common phrasing are not the same thing. The authorised EU health claim is that zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. That means helping keep levels within their normal range — it is not a claim that zinc raises or boosts testosterone above normal.

So zinc has an established, authorised role in maintaining normal levels, but "boosting" testosterone is not something the evidence or the authorised claim supports. If you have a specific concern about testosterone or hormone levels, that is a medical matter and worth discussing with your GP, who can arrange testing if appropriate.
What does zinc do?
Zinc is an essential mineral with a wide range of authorised EU health claims. Alongside its roles in the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and in normal fertility and reproduction, zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal DNA synthesis, the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress, among others.

Zinc is found in the diet in meat, shellfish, seeds and wholegrains. This range supplies zinc as a 15mg complex and a stronger 50mg complex.
Which nutrients contribute to energy and reducing tiredness?
Several. The B vitamins — including B12 — contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium contributes to both as well, and also to normal muscle function. These are authorised EU health claims.

It is worth being clear about what these mean: the nutrients are part of the body's normal process of releasing energy from food, rather than stimulants. If your intake is already adequate, more will not raise energy above normal. This range includes B12 at two strengths, a B complex, and magnesium in two forms.
What are L-arginine and taurine?
L-arginine and taurine are amino acids. L-arginine is found in protein-rich foods such as meat, nuts and seeds; taurine occurs naturally in the body and in foods such as meat and fish. Both are supplied here as single-ingredient capsules.

No health claims have been authorised for L-arginine or taurine, so we describe what they are rather than making claims for them. If you are considering either for a particular reason, that is best discussed with a doctor or pharmacist, especially alongside any medication.
Do men need different supplements from women?
Not fundamentally. The essential vitamins and minerals are the same for everyone, and their authorised health claims are not sex-specific. Requirements can differ in places — for example, men do not have the raised iron needs associated with menstruation, so a men's multivitamin often contains little or no iron.

The nutrients grouped here are simply those men commonly ask about, including zinc, which has authorised roles in the maintenance of normal testosterone levels and in fertility and reproduction. A varied, balanced diet remains the foundation, and any specific health concern is best discussed with a GP.

Nutrients Men Commonly Ask About

The essential vitamins and minerals are the same for everyone, and their authorised health claims are not sex-specific. This range simply brings together the nutrients men most often ask about, several of which have established, authorised roles in the body.

Zinc is the one most associated with men's health. It contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and to normal fertility and reproduction — these are authorised EU health claims. It is worth being precise about what the first of these means: the claim is about helping maintain normal testosterone levels, not raising or boosting them above normal. Zinc also has a number of other authorised roles, including in the normal function of the immune system.

Other nutrients here have authorised roles that are commonly relevant. The B vitamins, including B12, and magnesium contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; magnesium and vitamin D contribute to normal muscle function; vitamin D and calcium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones; and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function at a daily intake of 250mg. These are authorised EU health claims, and they describe support for normal function rather than enhancement above it.

The range also includes L-arginine, taurine and grape seed extract, for which no health claims have been authorised, so we describe what they are rather than what they do. Alongside these it includes zinc, B12, a B complex, magnesium, vitamin D3, vitamin E, omega-3 and a multivitamin.

A varied, balanced diet is the foundation for all of this. Any specific concern — whether about energy, hormones, fertility or general health — is best discussed with a GP, who can arrange testing where appropriate. Supplements support intake where diet may fall short; they are not a substitute for it or for medical advice.
