Optimum performance for men at every age.

Men have unique health needs in order to stay vitalized, avoid illness, optimize performance and improve stamina. Resilience, the ability to recover quickly after expending effort or experiencing stress, is a key contributing factor. The Akasha Naturals Men's Performance program is designed to support resilience, vitality, and retention of youthfulness, to optimize performance at work, in sports, and in bed.

The general program takes into account that men are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (stroke and heart attack), are often in need of assistance with stress management and with maintaining energy levels throughout the day and, as they age, need support for memory and concentration.
This program includes components proven to increase energy on the cellular level, support the nervous system to adapt to stress, help the brain function better and help to prevent heart attack and stroke.

The Akasha Naturals Men's Performance Program can also be individualized for men with specific needs, concerns, chronic diseases or risks for diseases based on personal medical history or family history. Schedule a personal phone consultation with an Akasha Center practitioner to discuss your specific issues.

THE MEDICAL SCIENCE BEHIND THIS PROGRAM: SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDED PROTOCOL

By Dr. Myles Spar

Myles Spar, MD and Edison de Mello, MD are co-directors of the Men's Clinic at the Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine. They have formulated this specific combination of supplements to help men achieve their goals of optimal performance physically and mentally while actively preventing health problems.

Coenzyme Q10 is essential for energy on the cellular level, helping the muscles work their best. It also lessens the negative impact of many drugs, including statins, on energy production.

Cereguard has acetyl-l-carnitine for physical and mental energy (it is like batteries for your cells) and n-acetyl-cysteine for optimizing immune system function. The unique blend of B-vitamins found in Cereguard help with homocysteine metabolism to go along with CoQ10's ability to reduce oxidative stress to LDL cholesterol molecules will provide essential support to the cardiovascular system, helping to lessen the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The omega-3- fatty acids, EPA and DHA, further decrease risk of cardiovascular disease through their impact on inflammation and cholesterol.

The MaleTonic helps with the adequate production and utilization of testosterone while optimizing physical performance. It helps boost libido, mood and energy.

Men's Restore supplies vital nutrients for the reproductive organs as well as supporting and helping to decrease prostate enlargement through ingredients such as Saw Palmetto, Zinc and Lycopene.

Doctor-recommended health practices during supplement program.

These supplements are helpful in and of themselves. However we recommend a healthy diet, exercise and stress management plan in order to achieve maximal benefit in terms of performance, feeling great and prevention of illness.

Your specific exercise recommendations depend on your overall health and baseline activity level, but in general at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5 or 6 days a week is recommended.

The optimal diet for most people is a variation of the anti-inflammatory diet, which includes foods that supply tremendous nutrition without causing systemic inflammation. This diet has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Your specific dietary recommendations depend on your unique medical issues.

Stress management is also important to overall health. We recommend a daily practice of some sort that helps you to lower the impact stress has on the body. This can be in the form of exercise, yoga, meditation, deep breathing, Tai chi, journeying, artwork or a hobby that you enjoy.
