Supporting Fitness in Men

From: Quicksilver Scientific - Friday Jun 30,2023 09:45 pm

Studies indicate that men who maintain or improve their fitness levels have better long-term health outcomes.1 The problem is this: as men age, physical aptitude and performance declines making it more difficult to maintain and improve performance levels and physique. Whether your patients are professional athletes or just trying to make the most out of their workout, keep reading to understand key considerations and recommendations to take them to their next level of performance. Performance + Endurance For many men, performance and endurance are markers of a youthful physiology. Unfortunately, as men age, central and peripheral physiological factors like maximum heart rate, blood volume and muscle mass, muscle fiber composition, size and capillarization, and muscle enzyme activity contribute to declines in endurance performance.2 One way to determine a patient’s cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance status is through VO2 max measurement. VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise. Maintaining healthy oxygenation to muscles and tissues by supporting circulation is an important aspect of aerobic endurance. As well, electrolyte balance and proper hydration support the physiological factors that influence performance.

Supplements to Support: Performance Cardio+ This product supports macro and microcirculation inside the body for maximum performance with the “king” of Western cardiovascular herbs, Hawthorn berry, along with the Eastern botanicals Dan Shen, Notoginseng, Gingko leaf, and more.* SHOP NOW

Metabolic Efficiency The National Library of Medicine challenged the theory of fat burning by exercise and determined that while exercise training decreases abdominal fat mass, it does not correlate to fat burning due to carbon and nitrogen redistribution.3 Other lifestyle efforts such as intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet have proven highly effective for men, supporting lipolysis, better glucose utilization, and healthy energy levels. Supplementation with fasting mimetic plant compounds are showing promise as well. Research indicates that resveratrol induces genes that support mitochondrial function and biogenesis, like PGC-1a, supporting a faster metabolic rate and improved physical endurance.4 Supplements to Support: AMPK Charge+™ AMPK Charge+ is a powerful blend of well-researched fasting mimetics and other phytonutrients designed to help activate the AMPK pathway, flipping the body’s “metabolic switch” from sugar to fat burning. This targeted nanoemulsified formulation also supports ketone production, balanced energy, mitochondrial health, and healthy body weight. SHOP NOW

Building Muscle Men can expect a decrease of 3–8% in muscle mass per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60. This involuntary loss of muscle mass, strength, and function is a fundamental cause of and contributor to disability in older people.3 Of course, a regular weight training routine can help build muscle but there are numerous cofactors that are required to maintain and build muscle. Common supplementation to increase muscle gains include whey protein isolate, branch chain amino acids, creatine, and HMB. But what is often missed are the essential and foundational micronutrients and antioxidants that support the enzymatic reactions and reparative aspects of muscle building. In short, don’t skimp on a multi-vitamin! Supplements to Support: Ultra Vitamin® A multi-vitamin formula that combines the Quicksilver Scientific Methyl B Complex with vitamins A, C, D3, E, K1, K2, and the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. Together, these foundational nutrients provide comprehensive support for methylation, antioxidant balance, immune, cardiovascular, and cognitive and cellular health.* SHOP NOW

Recovery Outside of the foundational aspect of sleep and downtime to promote physical recovery from exercise and other athletic endeavors, the next focus should be on nutrition, hydration, and supplementation. There are many schools of thought around when and what to eat to best support recovery and replenish glycogen stores. This complexity can bleed into supplementation as well. Hydration, mineralization and managing exercise-induced inflammation are all cornerstones of recovering well. Supplements to Support: H2 Elite® H2 Elite® features a high dose of molecular hydrogen, a selective antioxidant that aids cellular detoxification, healthy brain function and metabolism, and a balanced inflammatory response. By restoring redox homeostasis, H2 Elite may enhance exercise performance and training-induced adaptations, which are partly mediated by ROS, while simultaneously reducing the risk of overtraining-associated inflammation and injury. H2 Elite hydrogen tablets dissolve rapidly in a glass of water, offering fast-acting and portable antioxidant support.* SHOP NOW
