Why should you be taking Vascamen?
Vascamen has been developed especially for men to maintain and improve their quality of life. When the circulatory systems starts deteriorating and blood circulation in the body is impaired as one grows older, you may find that your energy levels reduce, your libido decreases and hair loss and prostate problems start to develop.. Even your vitality, stamina and vigour may not be what it used to be.
With Vascamen’s combination of carefully selected herbs, this downward trend in your health may be reduced.
In order to illustrate how Vascamen can improve your health, a short rundown will be given of its ingredients:
• Ginkgo biloba and Hawthorn
These plant extracts are extensively used to improve blood circulation and circulatory disorders. Ginkgo has anti-oxidant properties to help fight free radicals that cause ageing and age related diseases (also see our articles on free radicals and antioxidants). Hawthorn enhances the action of Ginkgo by dilating arteries, veins and the urinary tract tubes.
• Saw Palmetto
This plant provides excellent nutritional value and shows anti-inflammatory action on the prostate. It also increases urinary excretion through its diuretic effect.
• Tribulus terrestris
This plant has a diuretic effect and reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Its active ingredients have a stimulating effect on the immune and sexual systems. It is also used for its anti-inflammatory effect.
• Epimedium (Horny goatweed)
Chinese farmers noticed that old goats eating this plant became sexually active again. Increased energy and stamina have been noticed.
• Zinc sulphate
Zinc plays a vital role in the immune system, wound healing, prostate function, rheumatoid arthritis and acne.
This trace mineral is required by the body in minute quantities and is essential for optimal health. Selenium plays a major role in the defence against oxidant damage in ageing. Selenium supports the immune system, giving protection against the symptoms of coronary heart disease, strokes, heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis and HIV/AIDS.
Lycopene is the substance that gives tomatoes their red colour. Research has determined that, in countries where a lot of tomatoes are consumed, the incidents of prostate cancer are much lower. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant.
Who should be taking Vascamen?
After the age of 30, all men face a downward trend in the vascular system, libido, energy and general health. This is the time to start taking Vascamen.
With improved blood circulation, the boosting of the immune system, and protection against vascular diseases and prostate cancer, Vascamen addresses many of the health issues that most needs men can experience after 30.
The potential side effects of Vascamen are minimal, however the following possible interactions and precautions should be considered:
• Ginkgo can interfere with the seizure threshold in people with epilepsy.
• Diabetics should be aware that Ginkgo may reduce their insulin requirements. Adjustments may be needed. Regular glucose level checks may be required initially. The benefits of improved vascular circulation for diabetics are enormous.
• Ginkgo has an inhibitory effect on clot forming in veins and arteries and the formation of thrombi. Ginkgo thus increases the effects of Warfarin, Heparin and Aspirin.
•Patients with angina or rhythm disturbances should take note that Hawthorn may influence heart rhythm.
• Saw palmetto in high doses may reduce Sodium and Potassium levels, however the low dose in Vascamen should not cause such depletion.
