[toc]In recent years, the topic of DHEA for women during and after menopause seems to get the most press, however this hormone plays a key role in both genders. In fact, it was because of men who were using it for purported athletic benefits which led to the NCAA banning DHEA supplements. Not because it was considered unsafe in the degree that illegal anabolic steroids are, but because it may offer an unfair advantage for muscle growth and improving physical […]

Superfoodly — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 12:00:37 +0000

[toc]Let’s face it, men have different dietary goals than women. Your girlfriend/wife is probably more concerned with foods for weight loss that are super low calorie or have phytoestrogens. On the other hand, you want protein superfoods for energy and muscle gain. Plus support for healthy testosterone levels, male fertility, and reproductive health. This is even more true for athletes, bodybuilders, and older men/seniors. With that in mind, which nutrient-rich foods should you be prioritizing in your diet? What are […]

What Is Camu Camu Powder? Vitamin C and 15 Other Benefits

Superfoodly — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 12:00:42 +0000

[toc]Did you know that today, just about all vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is made in China? The worst part is that a given supplement can legally say “made in the USA” even if it contains Chinese-made vitamin C. That’s because the supplement only has to be assembled in the US to get that designation. It doesn’t matter where the ingredients come from and the manufacturer is not required to tell you. (1) Since vitamin C is destroyed during pasteurization, it […]

[toc]It’s pronounced she-la-jeet and is said to be a superfood. But if you don’t even know for sure whether or not it’s a food, let alone where it comes from, can you really call it one?

Benefits of Maca Root For Men Are Misleading

Superfoodly — Fri, 31 May 2019 11:52:10 +0000

[toc]The supplement aisle at Whole Foods has quite a bit of real estate allocated exclusively towards maca powder and capsules. Likewise for Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World. You can even buy maca at Walmart, including a product called V Shot Male Endurance Formula. Hmmm, that’s an interesting name. What are they inferring that can do?! If you have some balls, next time you’re in that aisle, ask a stranger there why they are buying this root extract. You will find […]

Macaccino: Maca Drink vs. Raw Maca Powder (Bad For You)

Superfoodly — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 11:00:06 +0000

[toc]Since very few foods contain it, lycopene is by far the most compelling phytonutrient found in tomatoes. When they’re cooked, the lycopene actually becomes about 300% more bioavailable in the human body. (1) Of course, tomatoes are an exception, not the norm. With most fruits, vegetables, and herbs, you’re usually better off eating or drinking them in their raw state. That’s because many phytonutrients, along with some vitamins like C, are easily destroyed by heat. However when it comes to […]
