Men in the spotlight

The importance of men’s health is being highlighted by ethical vitamin company Viridian Nutrition with the launch of two new supplement innovations. Essential Man Formula is a complete multivitamin and mineral supplement with selected phytonutrients for men aged 18-65 and Man 50+ Prostate Complex harnesses natural botanicals to support normal prostate function*.

The new launches are in line with a survey revealing that nearly as many men (47%) as women (53%) are taking supplements on a daily basis. The research on behalf of the Health Food Manufacturers’ Association of 10,000 adults revealed 71.2% those surveyed were taking supplements, with almost half taking every daily.

Aimee Benbow, Viridian’s Director of Nutrition, said: “It’s evident from the HFMA research that men are engaging in their health and wellbeing. “What’s particularly interesting is that nearly a third of the men responding to the survey (27.8%) have started taking supplements in the last year.

“It’s important to recognise that the nutritional requirements differ for men and women. They also vary with age and this is influenced by hormonal changes. Therefore, developing personalised supplement formulations with research backed and ethically sourced ingredients is important to long-term health and wellbeing.”
