Supplements do not treat contagious diseases they are used to improve overall health so discuss any supplements with your doctor. The most common health problems men encounter, are heart disease, prostate cancer and diabetes. To begin, here’s a list of the three most important supplements for improving your overall health.

Garlic: Most men run from garlic fearing bad breath. Odor-free pills give you all the benefits without the smell. Garlic is an herb with significant benefits when it comes to heart health. Studies have shown that garlic, can reduce blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure, may lower cholesterol and reduce the hardening of the arteries as we age. Other research shows that eating garlic regularly can reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, including colon, rectal and stomach cancers.

Chromium: Chromium is as an essential trace element because one needs very little. However chromium deficiency can cause glucose intolerance that leads to Type 2 diabetes. A big health concern facing men is Type 2 diabetes and chromium supplements have been proven to help normalize blood sugar levels and may lower insulin levels. That said to aid the prevention and management of diabetes, take at least 35mcg a day of “chromium picolinate” (the most effective form of chromium)

Fish Oil Omega 3 Fatty Acids: These are polyunsaturated fats found mainly in fish and flaxseed oil has a multitude of benefits. As a health supplement, omega-3s lowers triglycerides, which are body fats associated with heart disease and diabetes. Taking fish oil supplements keeps the heart healthy and also lowers the risk of dying from heart disease for those people who already have cardiovascular problems.

Besides improved heart health, omega 3 fish oil supplements may possibly be effective for treating kidney problems, certain types of cancer, depression, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and a whole list of other medical conditions. That said, if there’s one supplement you want in your daily regimen, it’s fish oil and the more you take, the better.
