Essential Micronutrients for Men
Nutritional biochemists consistently highlight several key minerals and antioxidants critical for male physiology.
Hormonal & Immune Health
Essential for testosterone synthesis, prostate cell function, and cellular DNA repair. Best sources include pumpkin seeds, oysters, grass-fed beef, and lentils.
Target: 11 mg/dayMuscle & Nervous System
Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, regulating blood pressure, muscle relaxation, and deep sleep cycles. Found in dark leafy greens, almonds, and cacao.
Target: 400-420 mg/dayAntioxidant Enzymes
Acts as a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, protecting cells from free radical damage and supporting thyroid hormone conversion. Found in Brazil nuts and sardines.
Target: 55 mcg/dayVascular & Joint Support
Reduces systemic inflammation, supports arterial elasticity, and maintains cognitive function. Concentrated in wild-caught fatty fish and algae.
Target: 1,000-2,000 mg/dayProstate & Endothelial Health
Carotenoid pigment proven to accumulate in prostate tissue where it mitigates oxidative stress. Readily absorbed from stewed tomatoes, paste, and watermelon.
Target: 10-20 mg/dayEndocrine & Bone Density
Functions as a master pro-hormone influencing immune defense, mood regulation, and skeletal density. Crucial in Nordic climates with limited winter sun.
Target: 1,500-2,000 IU/day
