Low testosterone levels in men contribute to altered sexual health, including low libido, erectile dysfunction, impaired sleep, and changes in mood and energy. Nearly half of all infertility cases are implicated by male factors, such as low testosterone levels and altered semen and sperm health. The purpose of this case series is to share the experience of two men taking a concentrated, highly bioavailable gelatinized form of specific phenotypes (sometimes referred to as colors) of (Maca-OG™) to improve reproductive health. One man experienced an increase in total testosterone levels and fertility parameters, including sperm concentration, sperm motility, and total sperm count. The second experienced an increase in total testosterone levels, energy, mood, and sleep. This case series highlights a natural alternative for male health to support the body's production of testosterone, especially when hormone therapy is not medically indicated or desired by the patient, or there are concerns about hormone therapy reducing the body's production of testosterone.
男性体内睾酮水平低会导致性健康改变,包括性欲低下、勃起功能障碍、睡眠障碍以及情绪和精力变化。所有不孕病例中近一半与男性因素有关,如睾酮水平低以及精液和精子健康状况改变。本病例系列的目的是分享两名男性服用浓缩的、生物利用度高的特定表型(有时称为颜色)的玛咖(Maca-OG™)以改善生殖健康的经验。一名男性的总睾酮水平以及生育参数有所提高,包括精子浓度、精子活力和总精子数量。另一名男性的总睾酮水平、精力、情绪和睡眠有所改善。本病例系列突出了一种男性健康的天然替代方法,以支持身体产生睾酮,特别是当激素疗法在医学上不适用或患者不希望采用,或者担心激素疗法会降低身体睾酮分泌时。
