Mia Gingerich at MMFA:

The Daily Wire announced the launch of a new “men’s lifestyle” company named Responsible Man on May 1, promoting its only current product — a men’s dietary supplement that it says is “designed to help … sharpen brain cognition” and that it suggests will help address what the outlet calls the “increasing health risk” of declining “sperm concentration.” On April 30, The Daily Wire’s parent company Bentkey Ventures registered the assumed name “Daily Wire Ventures.” The next day, on May 1, it debuted Responsible Man, a new company for men’s health products. 

The Daily Wire is promoting Responsible Man as an alternative to “woke” companies and by fearmongering about some of the outlet’s frequent targets, namely gender-affirming care and drag queens, asking its readers, “Do you want to buy your men’s health products from a company that partners with drag queens and supports radical organizations that push gender procedures on children?” Responsible Man’s website uses similar language, promising its customers that “together, we can reclaim masculinity” and claiming that “Emerson’s Vitamins are a simple step towards improving yourself, creating order, and building the future.”

The Daily Wire’s promotion suggests Responsible Man’s products can help address various health issues, including the purported “increasing health risk” of declining “sperm concentration” worldwide, promising to help men stay healthy “for the survival of the human race.”  The company’s only product, a men’s multivitamin, is marketed as being “professionally engineered by medical doctors” to “support your immune system, maintain energy production, sharpen brain cognition, and support the health of your heart and muscles.” 

[...]

The Daily Wire is promoting the new company by targeting Men’s Health magazine

The Daily Wire’s previous ventures into consumer goods have been framed in opposition to specific companies it deemed too “woke,” such as Harry’s Razors and Hershey’s Chocolate, for refusing to advertise with The Daily Wire and featuring a trans woman in an advertisement, respectively. (Jeremy’s Razors and Jeremy’s Chocolate, The Daily Wire’s answers to Harry’s and Hershey’s going “woke,” have received poor feedback from customers.) The Daily Wire’s promotion of Responsible Man singles out for criticism Men’s Health, the largest men’s lifestyle magazine in the United States.

The Daily Wire comes out with a right-wing alternative to "woke" products, this time with a multivitamin that claims to boost sperm counts and fight "wokeness" under the Responsible Man brand.

“All of my friends are dead.” It was said in his customary matter-of-fact tone, without the slightest hint of self-pity. This was Robin, my supervisor at university, who would often discuss his pre-academic life and what it was like to be a gay man during the worst of the Aids crisis. That he had survived at all struck him as incredible.

In those early days, the sense of an angel of death targeting a particular community seemed like the realisation of a nightmare. When it first emerged in the US it was known as GRID (gay-related immune deficiency). An article appeared in the New York Times on 3 July 1981 with the ominous headline: “Rare cancer seen in 41 homosexuals.” Some called it the “gay plague”.

Confusion turned into widespread panic, not limited to the gay community. The first time I heard of the disease was during a PE lesson at primary school. Such was the general ignorance that our teacher warned us not to borrow each other’s plimsolls or we’d catch Aids. Some time later I saw the government’s public health advert on the television; I remember little about it except the large tombstone with the dreaded four-letter acronym as an epitaph.

In the 40 years since the virus was identified, there has been a sea-change in attitudes. Whereas the government’s campaign set out to frighten people with the message “it’s a deadly disease and there’s no known cure”, a recent advert by the Terrence Higgins Trust reminds people that those diagnosed with HIV “can live a healthy, happy life just like anyone else”. Much of the stigma has dissipated.

The same is true of homosexuality itself. One could say that while the Aids crisis exacerbated the hatred and mistrust against an already beleaguered community, it also spurred activists onto the pathway to normalisation. Whereas the pursuit of a gay lifestyle was romanticised — or demonised — as a dance of Eros and Thanatos, a way to ensure that one remained beyond the scope of civilised society, today the very notion of being orientated towards one’s own sex is largely perceived as unremarkable. Those who bleat about their oppression as gay people in a climate of widespread tolerance are luxuriating in a kind of perverse nostalgia for a reality they could never comprehend.

For those who lived through it, the Aids crisis was a moment when the concept of a “gay community” actually meant something. Lesbians were instrumental in providing support for their gay brothers, and amid the loss there was a sense of greater solidarity. I remember seeing a production of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart in New York in 2004. The audience mostly comprised of older gay men, and Kramer was among them. Afterwards, people were visibly shaken from watching the worst of their past so unflinchingly dramatised. One man approached Kramer and, through his sobs, I heard him simply say: “thank you”.

Kramer has been credited as a kind of Cassandra figure, one who had warned that the hedonism of gay life in the late Seventies would lead to trouble. His novel Faggots (1978) was loathed by conservatives for its graphic depiction of the sexual free-for-alls of New York’s bathhouse culture, but it was also mistrusted by the gay community for its moralising implications. Its lead character is on an impossible quest to find meaningful love in a world of fleeting sexual encounters. Kramer was criticising what he saw as a sybaritic and morally vacuous culture, and the sense of an impending reckoning has led to the novel being interpreted as predicting the outbreak of Aids.

When the crisis exploded, Kramer was one of those calling on gay men to exercise sexual temperance, and to shut the bathhouses until the virus could be contained. For this he was accused of being a puritan and a traitor to the gay lifestyle. His play The Normal Heart is set around this time, and in one furious monologue a character rails against a Kramer-type figure for trying to make gay men feel ashamed of their own liberation.

For the ultra-religious, Aids was seen as a righteous punishment from God. Many had been appalled at the promiscuity that inevitably arises when women are no longer in the equation. Male sexuality has always been contained to a degree by the institution of marriage, but gay men had been forced to exist on the periphery. There was no need to abide by sexual mores, because the rules had clearly not been written with them in mind. In other words, sex became an integral aspect of their own defiance against the society that had shunned them.

It always seemed a catch-22. Gay men were loathed for their sexual licentiousness, and at the same time excluded from the very ethical framework that would, to a degree, offer some kind of incentive against it. In his 1982 lecture, “Rediscovering gay history”, the historian John Boswell addressed this fundamental contradiction and argued for the need for a gay archetype or moral aspiration. He pointed out that when a straight man cheated on his wife, he at least knew that he was falling short of society’s expectations. But the same could not be said for gay men:

“I think that part of the reason for the ambivalence of the intellectual establishment in the United States is that they can’t tell when they read a book like Edmund White’s States of Desire, whether the life of casual promiscuity it depicts represents a homosexual ideal or the failure of an ideal. Are they reading about what gay people should do, what they do, or both, or neither? So they don’t know how to fit it into their usual critical apparatus. They don’t understand what would be a departure from homosexual ethics because they don’t know what homosexual ethics would be. And neither do we.”

Boswell was right that this ambivalence existed within and without the gay community. When William Friedkin’s film Cruising was released in 1980, the most vehement opposition came from gay campaigners who feared that it would depict them as being inherently deviant. And yet the movie had been shot in the leather bars of New York City, and the real-life sex acts that were filmed were hardly atypical. This subculture may not have been reflective of gay society as a whole, but it certainly existed.

Perhaps it could be said that the activists who sought to ban Cruising won out in the end. Their implicit goal was that gay people could be brought under the aegis of heterosexual respectability — that they could, in other words, live as conventionally as everybody else. It didn’t surprise me at all, therefore, that it was a conservative government in the UK that eventually legalised same-sex marriage. It would appear that we have seen the cultivation in the Western world of the kind of shared ethical ideals that Boswell seemed to crave. Gay monogamy is no longer seen as an oxymoron.

Many gay rights groups, of course, opposed same-sex marriage. To them, it was a way to control gay people, to bring them within the same heteronormative yoke that dominated the rest of society. This debate echoed those of The Normal Heart, where there was a fear of an attempt to “civilise” those who had found freedom in occupying a realm outside of social convention. To be gay was to be different, and for many this was a source of pride. An older gay man once told me that sex was far more exhilarating when it was illegal. It meant that even the most casual sexual encounter was a little act of rebellion.

But even as tolerance has increased, anti-gay feeling has not gone away. The Aids crisis galvanised such prejudices, and of course religious fundamentalists have always opposed those who they deem to be acting against the wishes of their various gods. Today, these prejudices are resurfacing through the obsession with gender identity, an ideology that shames gay people for not being attracted to members of the opposite sex and has been responsible for the government-funded medicalisation of gay youth. In many ways, this is a “progressive” rehash of Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988, with its prohibition in schools against the “promotion” or “acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship”.

The instinctive disgust that many people feel towards those who do not share their own sexual inclinations is seemingly hard-wired, and so what we call “homophobia” will always emerge in one way or another in a majority heterosexual culture. But at least to be gay is no longer defined solely by the sexual act, and that for one man to fall in love with another is widely considered to be an unexceptional fact of life. The gay rights activists of yesteryear weren’t necessarily calling for universal indifference, but perhaps we’ll get there in the end.

Charlie Pizzarello - GMHC's Young Hot & Safe '94 Photoshoot

I was a member of Gay Men's Health Crisis's - Young Adult Prevention Program for a few years and was amongst the team of young people who helped to develop this campaign. I also was a model at the photoshoot and had the good fortune to also end up in the final campaign that rode all over the MTA in the form of a subway poster that was posted all over the transit system in buses and subways.

This campaign was executed exactly thirty years ago, and I can recall how much fun I had at the photoshoot with folks I knew and a lot I didn't know, it felt like a plutonic orgy with all the mis-matching of couples to get as many varieties of pairings as possible for the final product.

Not that I am a person who attends reunions, it would be wonderful to have a reunion of the folks that participated in this campaign just to see who is still with us, and who isn't, and what they have all done with themselves since then. I am pictured with Timothy Fischetti above, who is no longer with us, I was so sad to hear he had departed because the last time we spoke he sounded so happy and content, an actualization of this campaign in my assessment. Modern society has always wanted to cast queers as sad and loathsome people. We were seeking to assert a more positive presentation of young queer folks, being beautiful and practicing safer sex.

This campaign was HIV/AIDS education with a sex positive harm reduction message targeted towards the sexually active and future active youth of New York City, being the early nineties there was media backlash to the campaign, I was pleased to stand with Councilman Tom Duane at the press conference for this campaign and give my own words about how important representation matters for young people in regards to AIDS education whether they be sexually active or not.

My father was an activist post-Vietnam until his death. There is a legacy of activism within my family and I was happy to spend over ten years focused on HIV/AIDS education in the queer communities. The messages have changed but activism is still necessary and hopefully the kids today are picking up the reigns and pushing the messages that need to be heard by the public and hopefully pushing the movement and conversation forward.

i just don't think there's anything progressive and empowering about vanity plastic surgeries* because I think it's more important to examine why so many people in our society feel the need to pay exuberant amounts of money and undergo potentially life-threatening procedures in pursuit of a better appearance. much in the same way that we need to examine why it is specifically women that "wear makeup for themselves", which, if it was truly an individual choice, more men would do it. and also in general why both plastic surgery and makeup is almost entirely "consumed", for the lack of a better word, by women. it's almost like it's the product of a massive marketing scheme targeted almost entirely towards women. and by buying into the idea that makeup and plastic surgery are empowering, we are funneling money straight into the pockets of these marketers, thereby making our very bodies into marketable trends. true empowerment would be to accept that appearance should have no bearing on your value as a person, both ascribed by others and by yourself, and therefore doesn't have to be enhanced.

the solution to this isn't to ban it, that just exacerbates the problems as it does with sex work and other things in which the human, especially the female, body becomes an object. it's to get to the point where every woman is viewed as, and views herself as, a person regardless of her appearance, thereby eliminating any need to assimilate to beauty standards through makeup and surgery. that means she needs to be liberated completely from class society, which would have her be the property, an object rather than a person, of a man so that he can perform productive labor while she performs reproductive labor. to do so, reproductive labor, meaning housekeeping, childcare, elderly care and so on, must become public. readily available, high quality, and free, so that the material need for the societal role "wife" disappears, which holds the woman and by extension her body in chains.

*meaning plastic surgery that is not done for the physical and mental health of the patient, these sort of procedures need to be readily accessible for free

Gérard Depardieu not attending French court on sexual assault charges

French actor Gérard Depardieu, who is facing trial on charges of sexually assaulting two women on a film set in 2021, will not appear before a criminal court in Paris for health reasons, according to AP News.

Depardieu is accused of using “violence, coercion, surprise or threat” in the alleged assault, which prosecutors say took place on the set of Les Volets verts (The Green Shutters). According to his lawyer Jérémie Assous, doctors report that the actor’s health prevents him from appearing at the opening of the trial on Monday.

Assous said he would ask the court for a continuance because his client “wishes to come, wants to express himself.”

Prosecutors claim that in both cases, the victims reported that the 75-year-old actor “trapped them between his legs and groped their buttocks, genitals, chest and breasts over their clothes.” The trial was ordered as France continued its fight against sexual violence.

According to the Paris prosecutor’s office, the woman told investigators that she first heard sexual comments from Depardieu. Then, as she walked past him, he “grabbed her, pulled her towards him, blocked her with his legs, and groped her waist, hips and chest, accompanying his gestures with obscene remarks.” Three witnesses confirmed that the woman made an attempt to break free from Depardieu’s grip and that she looked “shocked.”

In an interview with French media, the production designer, who gave only her first name, said the alleged assault had negatively affected her personal and professional life for at least a year and a half. She was unable to sleep well, suffered from anxiety attacks and lost weight, she claimed.

A month before the alleged assault, another woman who also worked on the film’s set complained about Depardieu, Paris prosecutors reported. The director’s assistant told investigators that the actor had touched her buttocks several times. She expressed her disapproval, and in response Depardieu, she said, insulted her.

Sexual scandals in France

Despite the allegations against Depardieu, many have spoken out in his favour, including French President Emmanuel Macron. Late last year, 56 French artists, writers and producers published an essay in defence of the film star, stating that when “Gérard Depardieu is targeted in this way, it is the art (of cinema) that is being attacked.”

More recently, the country was rocked by the trial of 50 men accused of raping a woman who was previously drugged and rendered unconscious by her husband. Protests were held across the country last weekend in support of the victim, who has become a hero to many victims of sexual assault for insisting her trial be open to the public.

Feminist groups called for a protest outside the courthouse ahead of Monday’s hearing.

Testosterone controls muscle mass, libido, bone density, mood, and metabolism, among other processes. When levels of testosterone or other essential hormones decline or fluctuate, it can lead to a range of health issues that may require male hormonal imbalances therapy near me. Often, hormonal imbalances occur naturally with age, but they can also result from other factors like stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and exposure to environmental toxins.

Common Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Men

Recognizing the symptoms of hormonal imbalances is the first step toward restoring well-being. Some common signs include:

Low Energy Levels: Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest is a major indicator of hormonal imbalance.

Mood Swings and Depression: A decline in testosterone levels can affect brain function and lead to mood changes, irritability, and even depression.

Reduced Libido and Sexual Dysfunction: Low libido, erectile dysfunction, and other sexual health issues are often tied to hormonal imbalances.

Loss of Muscle Mass and Strength: Testosterone is vital for maintaining muscle, and imbalances may lead to decreased muscle mass and endurance.

Weight Gain, Especially Around the Abdomen: Imbalances can make it more challenging to lose weight and may result in an accumulation of belly fat.

Poor Sleep Quality: Sleep disturbances, including insomnia, are common with low testosterone or other hormone fluctuations.

Reduced Cognitive Function: Foggy thinking, forgetfulness, and a lack of mental clarity can be a direct result of imbalanced hormone levels.

What Causes Hormonal Imbalances in Men?

Many factors can disrupt hormonal balance in men, including:

Aging: Testosterone levels typically start to decline around age 30, dropping steadily over the years.

Stress: Chronic stress triggers the release of cortisol, which can interfere with the production of other hormones.

Lifestyle Factors: A lack of physical activity, poor diet, insufficient sleep, and excessive alcohol or drug use can all contribute.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, plastics, and pollutants has been linked to hormone disruption.

Blog Post #3 - Women as a Target Consumer

While the prevalence of TikTok is a rather new and fast-growing revelation, the use of women as a target consumer is not. Women currently dictate 80% of all consumer spending and this number is subject to change depending on the area of spending. According to the Harvard Business Review, women make up 94% of home furnishing consumerism and 92% of vacation decisions. Considering they are the most statistically significant group of consumers, it is clear why platforms such as TikTok take advantage of them. From a health and wellness perspective, women’s bodies are of a regrettably large conversation: more specifically, their anatomy. Historically women have been made to feel embarrassed about their genitals; specifically, for any particular scents or acts of feminine hygiene. This can be dated back to marketing ads of the 1950s when Lysol as a business advertised their products as “feminine hygiene”. They attributed a lack of intimacy between husbands and wives to women’s lack of vaginal cleanliness. This quickly appealed to female consumers from all over the United States. Unfortunately, this ploy did in fact work as women began purchasing these cleaning products to maintain their “feminine health.” This is rather upsetting considering using harsh products such as Lysol to clean one’s body can lead to more problems. Some of these include bacterial vaginosis, upper genital tract infections, or even infertility. Yet, these businesses remained successful given the marketing of a widespread insecurity for women. Essentially, not much has changed. 

Another way that corporations are able to profit off of this group is by the “pink tax”. The pink tax is often regarded as an extra cost for a product that is similar to a product advertised toward men. According to the National Institute of Health, women’s razors are between 47%-66% higher in cost than men’s razors. This is where the term pink tax comes from; these razors may appear pink in color or have “girly” features to give consumers an incentive to purchase. Yet, the color of the product does not make any true difference in the quality or purpose it may serve. The extra cost of these products marketed towards women is a scheme to receive a maximum profit from this group of consumers. Ultimately, one of the worst representations of the pink tax historically is in women’s cigarette campaigns. As a society, we now know the repercussions and harm of cigarettes, yet this was not the original understanding. “Slim cigarettes” were marketed as a fashionable, dainty, and feminine way to smoke. Considering being thin is one of the largest beauty standards of the last hundred years, this campaign essentially guaranteed women a way to meet this agenda. This is yet another example of utilizing women’s insecurities to promote consumerism without a care for women’s health. Cigarettes are the leading cause of lung cancer, early aging, brittle hair, yellow teeth, etc. Losing youth (and therefore beauty) is one of the most dreaded aspects of a woman’s life societally as we place a heavy emphasis on youth in our current beauty standards. This leads to the question, how far will women go to reach a certain image of how we are expected to look? Would we rather be skinny and riddled with health issues? Would we rather be youthful yet a healthy weight?  Will we continue to see certain corporations succeed while we are left to figure out these insecurities projected onto us?

Men’s Skincare Trends: Breaking stereotypes in skincare routines.

Men’s Skincare Trends: Breaking stereotypes in skincare routines.

Men’s Skincare Trends: Breaking Stereotypes in Skincare Routines

According to Dermatologist in Model Town, in recent years, the landscape of men's skincare has seen significant change. Skincare, often seen to be a feminine hobby, is now a crucial part of men's self-care routine. This shift reflects broader cultural shifts and an increasing acceptability of grooming techniques that prioritize skin health and beauty. 

Changing Notions of Masculinity

The idea of masculinity is shifting. Traditionally, men were expected to follow strict norms that frequently ignored personal upkeep beyond basic cleanliness. However, modern masculinity values self-expression and self-care. Men are increasingly aware that taking care of their skin benefits their entire health and confidence. This shift is seen in the increasing number of men seeking skincare treatments and products targeted to their individual needs.

The Influence of Social Media

Social networking sites have been essential in normalizing skin care practices for males. On websites like Instagram and TikTok, influencers and beauty advocates—many of whom are men—share their skincare experiences and regimens. By being visible, this helps break down the taboo attached to male grooming and inspires other guys to experiment with skincare without worrying about being judged. Men feel more inclined to invest in their skin health as these conversations gain traction.

Increased Awareness and Education

Men are now more aware of the value of good skincare because to the abundance of information about it available on blogs, videos, and internet forums. Many people now understand that skincare is an essential habit for everyone, regardless of gender, and is not just for women. Men are now taking ownership of their skincare routines and researching treatments that target certain issues like pigmentation, aging, and acne.

Personalization in Skincare

The trend toward customisation in men's skincare is one to watch. Men's skin types tend to be thicker and oilier than women's, thus skincare firms are increasingly producing products specifically made for them. Personalized regimens focused on particular skin concerns have been made available by brands like Apostle and Geologie, which provide everything from anti-aging remedies to blemish control. Men can select products that work best for them because of this customisation focus, which improves the efficacy and enjoyment of skincare routines.

The Rise of Male Aesthetic Treatments

The desire for aesthetic procedures among males changes along with the conventions of society. Once thought to be a female-only procedure, facials are becoming more and more popular with male clients. In-depth cleansing, moisturizing, and specific solutions for common skin problems like breakouts and excess oil are provided by these treatments. Men are learning that getting facials may make them look better while also encouraging self-care and relaxation.

Breaking Down Barriers

Leading personalities in business, entertainment, and sports are also encouraging this trend by publicly supporting good skincare practices. Their prominence aids in the demolition of antiquated notions of grooming and masculinity. Traditional ideas of masculinity are being redefined by men who take care of their skin, demonstrating that being a man does not mean sacrificing personal hygiene.

Inclusivity in Product Development

In response to this change, the skincare sector is producing more inclusive goods. The number of skincare brands that are gender-neutral and appeal to a wide spectrum of customers has significantly increased. This trend represents a rising realization that, regardless of gender identification, everyone should have access to efficient skincare products.

The Impact of Clean Beauty Trends

Apart from inclusion, clean beauty has emerged as a noteworthy trend in men's grooming. These days, a lot of men are looking for products that are cruelty-free, vegan, and devoid of dangerous ingredients. This move toward "clean beauty" is in line with broader consumer desires for products that are sustainable and transparent.

Conclusion

The popularity of men's skincare reflects a movement in culture toward the acceptance of self-care by all sexes. A growing number of guys are emphasizing skin health without fear of being judged as old preconceptions disappear. This progression encourages not just better skin but also a more inclusive definition of masculinity, enabling men to be proud of their personal grooming routines.

We commemorate this metamorphosis at our dermatologist clinic in Model Town, New Delhi, by providing customized skincare products made especially for the particular requirements of guys. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you attain your best skin yet, whether you're new to skincare or want to improve your regimen. Accept the trend since it's right that everyone feels good about themselves.

Achieving Healthy Hair: The Best Hair Care Routine with Lewisia Wellness Products

Finding the perfect hair care routine is essential for maintaining strong, healthy hair. At Lewisia Wellness, we provide some of the best hair care products in India, specifically designed to cater to your unique hair care needs. From nourishing shampoo to effective hair serum for growth and essential oils like argan oil for hair, we offer holistic solutions for issues like hair fall, dandruff, and dryness. Here’s how you can achieve optimal hair health using our natural and powerful products.

Why Understanding Hair Structure is Essential

Your hair’s structure is key to knowing how to treat it properly. Hair is composed of three layers: the outer cuticle, the middle cortex, and the inner medulla. These layers determine how strong, shiny, and healthy your hair will be. When facing issues like hair fall, it’s essential to focus on strengthening these layers with products like the best shampoo for hair fall and serums designed for repair and growth.

Essential Hair Care Practices to Adopt

A comprehensive hair care routine is the first step toward strong and healthy hair. Here are the best practices to include in your daily or weekly routine:

Do’s for Optimal Hair Health:

Wash Gently: Use a sulfate-free shampoo that preserves the natural oils of your scalp while cleansing your hair.

Hydrate with Argan Oil: Argan oil for hair is perfect for deep conditioning and restoring hydration to dry, brittle strands.

Serum for Growth: Use a hair serum for growth after washing to lock in moisture and stimulate hair growth.

Tea Tree Oil for Dandruff: Struggling with dandruff? Tea tree oil for hair works wonders to soothe the scalp and prevent flakes.

Get Regular Trims: Keeping your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks will eliminate split ends and allow for healthier growth.

Don’ts to Avoid Hair Damage:

Don’t Overwash: Washing hair too frequently strips essential oils, leading to dryness and breakage. Wash only 2–3 times a week.

Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can damage the cuticle and cause frizziness. Always rinse with lukewarm or cool water.

Don’t Skip Conditioner: Conditioner helps retain moisture and prevents breakage, especially if you have dry or damaged hair.

Limit Heat Styling: Heat tools can weaken the hair shaft and cause breakage. Minimize their use, and always apply a heat protector.

Handle Wet Hair Carefully: Wet hair is fragile and more prone to damage. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle without breakage.

Natural Ingredients in Our Hair Care Range

At Lewisia Wellness, our products feature natural and effective ingredients to target common hair issues.

Argan Oil: Also known as Moroccan hair oil, it deeply conditions the hair, repairs damage, and restores moisture.

Biotin: Promotes thicker, stronger hair growth, making it ideal for those experiencing hair thinning.

Tea Tree Oil: An effective remedy for dandruff, it soothes the scalp and reduces irritation.

Vitamin E: Protects the hair from environmental damage and is a key ingredient in our hair serum for men and women.

How to Establish a Healthy Hair Care Routine

Building a hair care routine that works for you is essential for long-term hair health. Here are some quick steps to follow:

Cleanse: Wash with sulfate-free shampoo 2–3 times a week to keep your scalp clean.

Condition: Use a hydrating conditioner or Moroccan hair oil to prevent dryness.

Protect: Apply a hair serum for growth to protect your hair from environmental damage and lock in moisture.

Target Treatments: Address specific issues like hair loss or dandruff with targeted treatments such as tea tree oil for hair.

Be Consistent: Stick to your routine, get regular trims, and protect your hair from heat and environmental stressors.

Centrum Multivitamins for Men – 120 Tablets | Comprehensive Daily Support for Men's Health & Wellness

Introduction to Centrum Multivitamins for Men

Centrum Multivitamins for Men, available in a convenient 120-tablet bottle, is formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of men. These multivitamins are designed to provide comprehensive daily support, helping to fill potential gaps in your diet and ensure you receive the essential vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health. Whether you're seeking more energy, enhanced muscle function, immune support, or heart health benefits, Centrum delivers a scientifically-backed, well-rounded multivitamin solution.

Why Multivitamins Matter for Men

Men have specific nutritional needs that can change depending on lifestyle, age, and activity level. Centrum Multivitamins for Men address these needs by providing targeted nutrients that support overall wellness. While eating a well-balanced diet is always recommended, it's often challenging to get all essential nutrients consistently through food alone, especially with busy lifestyles, dietary restrictions, or high physical demands. That's where Centrum comes in to provide the right blend of vitamins and minerals in every tablet.

The formulation is geared toward several key areas of men's health:

Energy Production: B-vitamins help convert food into energy, which is essential for maintaining stamina throughout the day.

Heart Health: Nutrients like vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid contribute to cardiovascular health by helping to regulate homocysteine levels.

Muscle Function: Magnesium and vitamin D support muscle health and function, promoting strength and endurance.

Immune Support: With essential antioxidants like vitamins C, E, and zinc, Centrum helps to strengthen the immune system and protect the body against free radicals.

Metabolism Support: The inclusion of essential minerals helps support a healthy metabolism, enabling the body to process nutrients more effectively.

Key Benefits of Centrum Multivitamins for Men

Tailored Nutritional Support for Men Centrum Multivitamins for Men are specifically formulated with the right balance of nutrients men need on a daily basis. This includes higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals that support energy, muscle health, heart function, and immune response. The vitamins and minerals included in each tablet are dosed to meet the daily recommended values for men, ensuring that you receive the right support in every serving.

Energy and Stamina The B-vitamin complex (B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin) is crucial for converting the food you eat into usable energy. For men who lead busy, active lives, whether through work, exercise, or family activities, these vitamins ensure that the body can efficiently produce energy to keep you going throughout the day.

Heart Health and Circulation Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid are critical for maintaining healthy homocysteine levels, a key marker of cardiovascular health. By supporting proper homocysteine regulation, Centrum helps protect against potential heart-related conditions and promotes healthy blood circulation.

Muscle and Bone Strength Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption, which is vital for bone strength. Men require sufficient levels of vitamin D to maintain strong bones, especially as they age. Additionally, magnesium contributes to muscle function, helping men maintain muscle health and prevent cramping or fatigue, especially after physical activity.

Immune Support The immune system is constantly working to fend off illness, especially in times of stress or increased physical activity. Centrum Multivitamins for Men contain immune-boosting vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc, all of which act as antioxidants, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting immune system function.

Metabolism and Nutrient Processing Essential minerals like chromium and zinc help to regulate metabolism, ensuring that your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins effectively. A healthy metabolism is crucial for maintaining energy levels, managing weight, and supporting overall health.

High-Quality Ingredients and Safe Formulation

Non-GMO: Centrum Multivitamins for Men are made with high-quality, non-GMO ingredients, ensuring a safe and pure product.

Gluten-Free: These multivitamins are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or dietary restrictions.

Every tablet undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure that it meets high safety and purity standards. As a trusted brand, Centrum has been formulating multivitamins for decades, earning its reputation for effectiveness and reliability.

How to Use Centrum Multivitamins for Men

For best results, take one tablet daily with food. This multivitamin is designed to be taken as part of a well-balanced diet and active lifestyle. Taking it with food helps your body absorb the nutrients more efficiently, ensuring maximum benefits.

Always follow the dosage instructions on the label. If you have any underlying health conditions, are taking medication, or have dietary concerns, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement routine.

Who Should Use Centrum Multivitamins for Men?

Centrum Multivitamins for Men is suitable for adult men of all ages. Whether you're in your 20s looking to maintain energy for an active lifestyle, in your 40s working to support heart and muscle health, or over 60 focusing on immune and bone health, this multivitamin provides a tailored solution for men at every life stage.

Conclusion

Prostate Cancer in the Philippines and the Hope Offered by LUTETIUM PSMA for the Filipino Patients

Prostate cancer is still the leading form of cancer among males in the world. In 2022, there have been 1,467,854 total cases of prostate cancer and a total of 397,430 deaths (World Cancer Research Fund International, 2022). According to Department of Health, prostate cancer is the third most common type of cancer among Filipinos; prostate cancer affects about 19.3% per 100,000 men in the Philippines.

Prostate cancer is caused by an abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland of a male located under the bladder and toward the front of the rectum. The prostate plays an important role in the male’s reproductive system through production of fluids that serves as protection for the sperm cells. The size of a prostate is that of a walnut in younger men, however, it can grow larger as age progress. According to most of medical professional’s belief, prostate cancer is slow-growing and older men are mostly affected.

Due to the prostate cancer’s slow progression compared to other forms of cancer, most of the patients are highly unlikely to exhibit and experience obvious symptoms, not until the cancer is in its advanced stages. Prostate cancer patients may feel an increased urge to urinate and/or a significantly weaker urine flow, difficulty in starting to urinate, and feeling or sensation that the bladder has not been emptied. These aforementioned symptoms, however, may also indicate a benign enlarged prostate; best bet is to consult a medical professional in order to have a proper diagnosis. Signs and symptoms for advanced-stage prostate cancer may include blood in urine and semen, erectile dysfunction, weight loss, persistent pain around the back and hips area and shortness of breath and easy fatiguability caused by anemia.

The key statistics for prostate cancer as presented by the American Cancer Society, around 6 out of 10 prostate cancers are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older, and 67 is the average age where men are first diagnosed with this type of cancer. It is noted that prostate cancer is rare in men aged below 40. Age is just one of the risk factors for prostate cancer, genetics also plays a vital role of having one; ethnicity is also a factor as African males have a higher risk of having this type of cancer as compared to Caucasians, Hispanics and Asians. Inappropriate use of medications, long term usage of high doses of vitamin E and being on the heavy side (obesity) also contributes to having an increased chance of developing prostate cancer.

In order for a doctor to make a proper diagnosis, various medical examinations will be needed; most common tests for prostate cancer are physical exam and health history, prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) scan, blood tests including prostate-specific antigen (PSA), digital rectal exam (DRE), biopsy, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and transrectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ACS do not recommend routine screening if symptoms are not apparent as the negative effects of the examination/testing procedures may overshadow its benefits.

Having prostate cancer is not a death sentence as there are various treatments for it depending on its progression and stage; the doctor will know and suggest the best treatment option/s. Treatment choices include Surveillance, Localized Therapy (Prostatectomy, Radiation Therapy, Cryotherapy and Focal Therapy) and Drug Therapies (Hormonal Therapy, Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy).

​A relatively new prostate cancer treatment has arrived in the Philippines called Radionuclide Therapy or Lutetium Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (Lutetium PSMA); another name for this treatment is Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) radionuclide therapy. This advancement in the treatment for prostate cancer binds to specific receptors in prostate as well as neuroendocrine cancers. The beta radiation it emits targets the cancer cells and its radiation damages and destroys the cancer cells directly. Through this, the rest of the body is safe from the exposure (St. Luke’s Medical Center, 2023). Lutetium PSMA is mainly offered when cancer cells have spread beyond the prostate and was effective in lessening the pain produces long-term remission for most patients. Additionally, Dr. Andrew Dominic Kalaw, a Nuclear Medicine Specialist at Cardinal Santos said, “Essentially, Lutetium PSMA is a liquid radiation which is given intravenously to the patient. If a prostate cancer patient has already been through more common treatments like hormonal therapy or chemotherapy, but the cancer is still metastasizing or progressing, they can be offered Lutetium PSMA as another form of treatment, which is what we’re already doing here in Cardinal Santos”.

Lutetium PSMA is currently offered in only two hospitals in the Philippines, the St. Luke’s Medical Center and Cardinal Santos Medical Center as this treatment is new. Lutetium PSMA is mainly ordered in Europe and is delivered on the day it will be used. According to Dr. Kalaw, the first patient to undergo Lutetium PSMA in Cardinal Santos Medical Center presented promising results. The patient was admitted overnight and was discharged the day after, he tolerated the procedure and showed no complications. It is also worth noting that this treatment may have some short-term side effects for the first 24 hours such as lightheadedness, nausea, and in a rare instance, abdominal pain. Lutetium PSMA can be done around 3 to 4 sessions and was found to be a safe treatment and can be used together with an oral or injectable hormonal therapies without any issues.

This medical advancement in Lutetium PSMA can do wonders to prostate cancer patients and their family, however, most of healthcare professionals are still unfamiliar with it let alone those people outside the medical sphere. Doctors and other health practitioners who are aware of this procedure must present this to their patients as another or a better option for treatment, after all it is their duty to not withhold any information as it is the right of the patients to be knowledgeable of every option.
