Factor no.5

The Y chromosome defines the male sex.

Androgens boost ‘masculinity’.

If XY chromosomes are present when a fetus develops, the baby will be a male. While chromosomes do play a role in male sex determination and development, other attributes associated with ‘maleness’ are generated by androgens, a sex hormone key to male sexual and reproductive functions, which also makes certain masculine features such as body and facial hair, bones and muscles more pronounced.

×Androgens mainly refers to a steroid hormone known as testosterone, which aside of its masculinity-enhancing properties, also has known benefits on mental health. Indeed, a testosterone deficit or imbalance may result in a range of mental and physical ailments (anxiety, stress, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, low energy, impotence) that are triggered by a condition known as andropause. It is also noteworthy that andropause is also connected with the onset of muscle atrophy, metabolic syndrome as well as hair loss.

With its recently developed “Men Balance Matrixes” (M.B.M™), DuraScience Institute of USA has been actively conducting research directed at improving men’s welfare and finding ways to bolster masculine attributes.

4 Responsible Factors

for M.B.MTM

1.

GOOD GENATICS

A recent study has revealed that genetics play a role in androgen production and metabolism, which both influence androgen balance. If a person’s DNA features genetic defects, these will likely ripple onto his or her entire system, and lead to potentially serious dysfunctions or/and diseases.

Inside the male body, all cells are endowed with Androgen Receptors (AR). If these gene receptors are sent testosterone or dihydrotestosterone, complex cellular activities would follow.

×Androgen receptors are controlled and regulated by the AR-gene, which finds itself in the X chromosome, specifically located on Xq11-12.

A dysfunction in the genes affects androgen production and activity, and likely to eventually result in a condition known as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS). Typically, AIS either prevents normal genital development or triggers a dysfunction at the cell level which may exacerbate Kennedy’s Disease, a rare inherited motor neuron disease. Commonly, male patients with Kennedy’s disease exhibit the following conditions: muscle atrophy, enlarged breasts, reduced testicles, infertility and diabetes.

2.

Bacterial Balance

in the Gut

Research has concluded that gut microbiome levels have a direct impact on a person’s digestive system, immune stimulation via GALT (Gut-Associated Lymphatic Tissue), as well as on the nutrient absorption process. Further studies have suggested that gut microbiome may even have an effect in limiting androgen imbalance in the male body. On the other hand, the consumption of foods high in carbohydrates has been linked with heightened bacterial imbalance risks.

3.

Good Nutrition

A healthy and balanced diet is essential for keeping one’s sex hormone levels in check. The estrogen hormone is especially sensitive to nutritional deficiencies, and therefore if a person’s diet is poor (either because of an insufficient food intake or due to the poor quality of the food consumed), this may result in a hormonal imbalance, and render androgen levels may become either too dominant or too low.

×Regardless of whether an imbalance is mild or severe, it almost invariably has a range of physical and psychological consequences, which can take the form of irritable mood as well as other symptoms of physiological dysfunction.

Thankfully, imbalances can be easily treated by means of food supplements, as well as through the adoption specific dietary adjustments to make sure that a person is getting the right amount of nutrients daily.

4.

A Good Anti-Inflammatory System

Generated by cellular metabolism and found externally in certain foods, chemicals and pollutants, free radicals (including Reactive Oxygen Species: ROS, and Reactive Nitrogen Species: RNS), can seriously damage the entirety of a person’s cellular system. The accumulation of free radicals over time often results in oxidative stress, which, by means of cell degeneration, cell dysfunction, an androgen production imbalance and other problems linked to the reproductive system, may impair protein, fat levels as well as a person’s DNA.
When a body is equipped with all the necessary antioxidants, hormonal production and balance is likely to be optimal. Furthermore, a number of studies has shown that an adequate antioxidant intake significantly improves testosterone levels, as well as the quality and quantity of sperm produced by the male genital organs.

An effective solution that tackles the cause at its roots

In men, masculine traits are apparent not only in their physical appearance, but also in their physiology, psychology, form of self-expression and emotions. An imbalance in androgen levels will have inward and outward consequences on these traits. Furthermore, genetic factors play an important role in determining the way in which ‘masculinity’ develops at different stages of men’s lives.
