Supplements for Male Menopause (Andropause): The Set

Men, too, experience changes over the years: energy in the afternoon fades, sleep becomes more restless, and familiar performance sometimes feels different than it used to. This phase of life is often called andropause or "male menopause." Unlike in women, it usually progresses gradually and over many years. It's a natural stage – and a good occasion to take a conscious look at your own nutrient supply. These changes vary in intensity and timing from man to man – there's no fixed timeline that everyone follows.

For the goal of andropause, we've put together a set that specifically bundles the micronutrients relevant for hormone balance, energy, and restful sleep – complemented by traditionally valued plant compounds for vitality and well-being. The result is a comprehensive toolkit from which you can put together your personal program for this phase of life.

Why This Combination for Andropause

In this phase of life, several topics move to the forefront at the same time: hormone balance, energy levels, muscle strength, and restful sleep. For all these areas, there are clearly formulated nutrient claims in the EU register. Zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood and is contained in two products of the set at once – a direct link to the central theme of this phase. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. These two nutrients exemplify the set's approach: concrete claims documented in the EU register form a reliable core, around which the other building blocks are grouped.

On the energy and muscle side, magnesium comes into play: magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Especially when familiar strength seems to be fading, a good magnesium supply is valuable. Magnesium is involved in a large number of enzymatic processes in the body, which explains its broad role in muscle, nerve, and energy metabolism. And because good sleep is especially important during this phase, melatonin rounds off the set – melatonin contributes to a reduction in the time taken to fall asleep.

Around this well-documented nutrient core, we add traditionally valued plant compounds such as maca, tribulus, ginseng, and cordyceps, which have long been used for vitality and men's health. This way, the set combines clearly documented nutrient functions with a plant-based routine that addresses the desire for vitality during this phase of life. These four plants come from four different continents and cultural traditions – from the Andes, through the Mediterranean, to East Asia – which illustrates the breadth of traditional approaches to male vitality.

The Products in the Set

Fadogia Strength Complex with Ashwagandha & Zinc

The Fadogia Strength Complex optimized with Ashwagandha & Zinc forms the core for the hormone-related benefit. The contained zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood. With a concentrated 10:1 extract and 1000 mg per daily dose, it's the energetic centerpiece of the set and combines fadogia with the adaptogen ashwagandha. The 10:1 extract ratio shows that the raw material used has been significantly concentrated before being processed into capsule form.

Maca Complex with Tribulus, Ginseng & Cordyceps

The Maca Complex optimized with Tribulus, Ginseng, Cordyceps & L-Arginine combines several plant compounds at once that are valued in their traditional use for vitality and men's health. Maca from the Andes is one of the most popular classics for anyone who pays attention to their well-being during this phase of life. Complemented by tribulus, ginseng, and the vital mushroom cordyceps, it becomes the versatile vitality building block of the set. Maca traditionally grows at high altitudes in the Peruvian Andes, where it has been used for centuries both as a staple food and as a vitality plant – an origin story that sets it apart from the mostly Asian plants that make up the rest of the complex.

Magnesium Complex

The Complex of 4 Bioactive Magnesium Sources with 400 mg Elemental Magnesium provides a generous, well-available amount of magnesium from several sources. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue – two aspects that are especially relevant during andropause. The combination of different magnesium compounds reflects a well-thought-out formula. Bioactive magnesium sources such as bisglycinate or citrate are generally regarded in nutritional science as well-bioavailable organic compounds compared to simple inorganic magnesium salts.

PMS Intenso Vital Complex

The lab-tested vital complex with vitamin C, B6, and zinc contributes valuable micronutrients that are important regardless of gender: vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood. This way, the complex specifically supplements the hormone-relevant nutrients of the set.

Melatonin Sleep Complex

The Melatonin Sleep Complex with 1 mg per tablet supports the evening routine. Melatonin contributes to a reduction in the time taken to fall asleep – the positive effect occurs with an intake of 1 mg shortly before going to sleep. With 365 tablets, one pack lasts a whole year, making the sleep complex a practical long-term companion. This means you won't have to think about reordering this building block for an entire year.

Steinbrecher Complex

The Complex with Chanca Piedra, Banana, Lemon, and Vitamins rounds off the set. Chanca Piedra – literally "stone breaker" – has long been valued in traditional South American use and is a popular building block for anyone who wants to care for their well-being holistically. It complements the set as another traditional plant-based building block. Banana and lemon add further natural ingredients to the formula and round off the complex's plant-based profile.

How to Combine Them

The strength complex and the maca complex are well suited for daytime – many take them in the morning with a meal to start the day with energy. You can also use the PMS Intenso vital complex during the day; it provides vitamin B6 and zinc for the hormone-related benefit and combines well with the strength complex.

Magnesium and melatonin belong in the evening routine: magnesium supports muscle function after an active day and contributes to reducing tiredness, while melatonin is best taken shortly before going to sleep to benefit from the reduced time to fall asleep. Integrate the Steinbrecher complex flexibly according to preference throughout the day. If you use it as well, the easiest approach is to fold it into your existing morning or midday routine rather than planning a separate intake time for it. For all products, pay attention to the stated daily dose and – because of the zinc contained in two products – make sure not to exceed the recommended total amount.

Supporting Vitality Holistically

Andropause is a good occasion to take a conscious look at your own lifestyle – because many levers lie in everyday life itself. Strength training is especially valuable here: it helps challenge the muscles and maintain physical performance. Just two to three sessions per week working the major muscle groups provide a meaningful stimulus. The legs, back, and chest in particular benefit from regular training, since they account for the largest share of total muscle mass. Complemented by moderate endurance activity such as brisk walking or cycling, this creates a well-rounded program that fits well with the nutrients in the set.

A second major lever is sleep. Calm, restful sleep affects energy, mood, and recovery – this is where the melatonin sleep complex comes in, which contributes to a reduction in the time taken to fall asleep. Support it with a fixed evening routine: dimmed light, little screen time before bed, and a cool, dark bedroom. Conscious stress management also pays off, for example through walks in nature or calm breathing exercises in the evening.

Last but not least, diet plays a foundational role. A protein-rich, varied diet with plenty of vegetables provides the foundation on which the targeted nutrients and plant compounds of the set build. Anyone who combines these building blocks – exercise, sleep, diet, and the right supplements – supports andropause in a way that takes the desire for vitality and well-being seriously.

Who It's Suitable For & Fundamentals First

The set is designed for men who want to actively navigate the changes of this phase of life and consciously shape their nutrient supply. It's likewise aimed at men who already notice initial changes in energy or sleep and want to approach them proactively rather than simply wait and see. However, no supplement replaces the cornerstones of a vital everyday life. Regular exercise – especially strength training – helps maintain muscle strength and energy. A balanced, protein-rich diet, enough sleep, and conscious stress management form the foundation on which everything else is built.

Moderate alcohol consumption and abstaining from smoking also pay off especially during this phase. The products in this set are intended as a complement to a healthy lifestyle, not as a replacement. They're designed to support you with the right nutrients and traditionally valued plant compounds through a natural stage of life – step by step and as part of a coherent overall routine. It's important to bring realistic expectations: micronutrients and plant compounds work in a supportive way over time, not overnight. Anyone who stays patient and consistently builds the products into their everyday life creates the best conditions to navigate this phase of life with energy and composure.
