Hormones, the environment and your sex drive

One of the most worrying trends of our modern society is the decreasing threshold age for andropause. Andropause is the male equivalent of the female menopause that usually affects men between the ages of 40 and 55. However, this is not how it was supposed to be. A mere hundred years ago andropause did not start until the early 50s, but the industrialized society that we live in has turned andropause into a man triggered condition. The sharp drop in the amounts of testosterone produced by the body, which is the mark of andropause, is no longer a natural process, but can be brought about in the early 40s by the constant presence of a wide range of chemicals. These chemicals act as synthetic estrogen in the male body and induce certain changes at the physical and psychological levels.

The symptoms that accompany andropause include urination and prostate problems, mood swings and depression, impotence, low sex drive and low sperm count, weight gain, low blood sugar or diabetes, dry skin, bone loss, fatigue, anxiety, low absorption of Zinc, increased chance of heart attacks and water retention. The presence of xenoestrogens, which means estrogen that is not produced within the body, is disrupting the natural hormonal balance and leads to the early onset of andropause. These foreign hormones are the result of our constant exposure to various products of the modern society. A brief list of xenoestrogen sources would include:

Pesticides
Herbicides
Plastic wrappings
Plastic drinking bottles
Meat from animals raised on hormone-rich food
Detergents
Pollution

Doctor Allan Lieberman, from the Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine, stated a couple of years ago that the accumulation of xenoestrogens in the body starts in infancy and is compounded by modern life. “The combined use of pesticides in growing the food and soft plastics in transporting and packaging the food raises our exposure to endocrine disrupters”, says doctor Lieberman. There are several things anybody can do to limit the severity of hormonal imbalance and its symptoms. These steps are: diet changes, lifestyle changes, exercise and a positive attitude on life. Changing the diet doesn’t necessarily equal dieting, although you may want to lose some weight and stay in shape. Smoking, drinking or drugs consumption are likely to worsen the andropause symptoms and should be avoided.

One possible answer to the lack of zinc and the falling sex drive is VolumePills. These pills are an excellent source of zinc and can increase libido and sperm count. One of the effects of exposure to xenoestrogen is the impairing of zinc absorption by the body. Zinc is vital to the healthy functioning of the prostate, testicles, immune system, wound healing and is part of some 300 enzymes. If you feel you are no longer eager for sex as you once were, or if the doctor told you that your sperm count is lower than normal, then you should try VolumePills. A combination of getting rid of unhealthy lifestyle choices, exercising and VolumePills should be enough to bring back the need for sex and all the pleasure that comes with sexual satisfaction.

How Male Enhancement Patches Work

Suddenly, pharmaceutical patches are everywhere for every ailment: nonsmoking drugs, anti-depressants, birth control, and hundreds of prescription drugs are now coming out in patch form. It’s fast becoming the preferred method of taking medicines, because there’s no dilution of potency, no nausea or side effects to the digestive system, continuous time-released delivery and more accurate blood levels of the desired ingredients. It’s also very easy to use and has a long shelf life.

It’s no surprise, then, that this popular method of administering pharmaceuticals has also come to the all-natural male enhancement sector. Once only available in oral tablets or capsules, male enhancement benefits are now in the patch, making it super effective and more convenient than ever.

Thousands of men have already used the patch to address these concerns: Natural penis enhancement, harder, longer-lasting erections when aroused, better ejaculation control, consistently stronger sex drive, and greater orgasm intensity.

Patch products for male enhancement benefit from years of research and the latest up-to-the-minute know-how on transdermal pharmaceutical delivery. The patches release their active ingredients directly through the skin into the bloodstream in a sustained, gradual way over several hours. Because the ingredients don’t have to travel through the stomach, potency is much more predictable and efficient. Unlike pills, which often have to be taken at frequent intervals, the patch is a simple one-time application for full strength throughout the day.

The patch maintains consistent, non-fluctuating levels of active ingredients in the bloodstream – so there are no sudden dips or crashes.

For male enhancement, quality patches are difficult to come by. The companies that have a good track record of customer ordering, customer results and involvement by medical professionals are obviously the ones to choose. The surveys we conducted showed that the MaxiDerm™ product gave the greatest results, and Albion Medical, the company that produces it, has a long history of satisfied customers.

The ingredients for patch products may include:

Ginseng
Traditionally used to overcome general weakness and deliver extra energy. It also has aphrodisiac powers. Used to combat non-medically caused impotence, and premature ejaculation, ginseng helps normalize blood pressure while rejuvenating and revitalizing the body. It also promotes the growth of nerve tissue. A key component of ginseng is ginsenoside, which alters blood flow to the brain and penis and can build blood and sperm. Russian scientists have reported and recorded that ginseng stimulates both physical and mental activity, enhances athletic performance and has a positive effect on the sex glands.
Fo-Ti
Known as ho shou wu in China, is widely used as a rejuvenating tonic for longevity and to prevent premature aging and gray hair. It is a plant native to China and is grown extensively in Japan and Taiwan. It is said to help maintain energy, strength and vigor. Fo-ti may be protective against cancer and heart disease. It has been used to improve the memory and for mental depression. Scientific literature reveals that fo-ti additionaly has anti-cancer properties, a sedative effect and beneficial effects on fertility.
Gotu Kola
A nerve tonic to promote relaxation, with a calming effect on body. It improves circulation by strengthening veins and capillaries, reduces pain and swelling, and eliminates excess fluids.
Saw Palmetto Berry
Beneficial for the reproductive organs of both sexes, saw palmetto berry works as an aphrodisiac and tonic. It is used to ease swelling of the prostate and excessive urination. Good for overall male reproductive system.
Damiana
A sexual stimulant that enhances sexual performance. It works as a tonic to improve overall body function, helps relieve anxiety and promotes a feeling of well-being.
Yohimbe
An aphrodisiac that also dilates the blood vessels and brings the blood closer to the surface of the sex organs. It lowers blood pressure and increases the reflex excitability of the lower region.

These are just some of the ingredients you might find in a penis enhancement patch. Other things to look for in a good patch are that it is manufactured in a certified lab and that the company offers a money-back guarantee.

Considering the costs of prescription drugs and the immeasurable benefits to a man’s confidence, the patch is a great alternative for many men. Remember to shop carefully, and if you can’t find a product on your own, we recommend MaxiDerm™.
