Declining testosterone levels are an inevitable part of the male experience in the natural aging process. In fact, some estimates point out that 10-40 percent of adult males suffer from some degree of testosterone deficiency. As the primary male sex hormone, testosterone wields a massive influence over men’s whole body health. The declining levels of testosterone that accompany aging can, therefore, have a negative impact on male comprehensive wellness.
In recent years, an increasing number of men have turned to hormone replacement theory (HRT) for promoting balanced testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy usually involves liquid injections or hormone pellet insertion procedures to provide the body with a prescribed amount of testosterone.
However, there is also a wide variety of nutrients that can help promote balanced testosterone levels through various avenues. Yet, it can be difficult to obtain the full range of vitamins, minerals and organic chemical compounds that have the potential to help the body maintain healthy levels of testosterone. Fortunately, the nutraceutical industry has developed a wealth of products that have been designed to support optimal men’s health through balanced testosterone levels.
How Can Low Testosterone Levels Impact Men’s Health?
Low testosterone levels are indicative of a condition known as hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism is a result of issues in the testicles. The declining testosterone levels in men associated with the natural aging process are a form of secondary hypogonadism, a condition that results from an issue in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. This specific form of hypogonadism related to aging is also referred to as late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) and is considered to be a primary component of andropause, which is the male version of menopause.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men
Low levels of testosterone can lead to a variety of symptoms that have the potential to have a negative impact on men’s health, including:
- Reduced sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Increased body fat
- Reduced muscle mass and strength
- Hot flashes
- Fatigue
- Depressed mood
- Issues with focus and concentration
- Enlarged male breast tissue (gynecomastia)

DIM 150
DIM 150 is packed with a supportive organic chemical compound known as diindolylmethane (DIM). This chemical compound can be found in the body following the chemical reaction that occurs after breaking down another chemical compound known as indole-3-carbinol, which exists in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and kale. DIM is known to assist the body in estrogen metabolism, and high estrogen levels can contribute to low testosterone levels.
DIM 150 also contains vitamin E, which is a classification of eight unique nutrients with strong antioxidant properties. Vitamin E has been recognized for the ability to support optimal cognitive function, eye health, cardiovascular function, skin health and immune function.
HRT Complete (T)
In addition to containing DIM, HRT Complete (T) is packed with a full complement of nutrients that are known to support proper hormonal metabolism.

In addition to its role in addressing oxidative stress, CoQ10 has been recognized for its ability to help the body convert food into energy, support healthy cardiovascular function and promote hormonal balance by assisting the body in lipid metabolism.
PrimaVieⓇ is a proprietary extract of shilajit, which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient found in Himalayan mountain rock. In addition to providing energy to the body, shilajit has been recognized for supporting a wide range of processes and functions that contribute to whole body health, including optimal cardiovascular and cognitive function. Shilajit has also shown a potential for supporting optimal testosterone levels and enhancing the bioavailability (absorbability) of other nutrients like CoQ10.
Sulforaphane does not occur naturally within the body, but it can be obtained from cruciferous vegetables. This organic chemical compound is known to support healthy cardiovascular function with its potent antioxidant, anti- inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
