1. Vegan Colon Assist
From DEVA Nutrition come vegan supplements, herbs, oils, and more, including the Vegan Colon Assist ($8.99). People who have colorectal cancer have a higher chance of also getting prostate cancer, meaning that taking care of your bowels, gut, and your body’s disposal systems are key.
This supplement gives you an extra 230mg of magnesium, which draws more water to the colon and helps relax it.
2. Adrenal Recharge
The Adrenal Recharge tonic ($35.96) is a traditional Chinese yin tonic to help support the lung and adrenal systems, as well as relieving stress and improving focus. You can find it at Perfect Supplements, which sells its own branded products alongside other brands’ products.
There is also Global Healing’s Lung Health spray ($29.95), which can also be found at Perfect Supplements and provides many benefits like stimulating blood circulation to the lungs and supporting toxin elimination.
3. Krill Oil
Also from Perfect Supplements comes Dr. Mercola’s Krill Oil ($29.97 for 60 capsules). This oil contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), phospholipids, and astaxanthin, which support a healthy heart, lower blood sugar levels, and healthy cholesterol levels.
4. Antioxidant Coconut Oil
Skincare as part of a health routine is just as important for men as it is for women and everyone in between. All our skin is vulnerable to the elements like UV rays and dry air, as well as bacteria and toxins in the air, in our foods, and beyond that absorb into the skin. This Unscented Antioxidant-Rich Coconut Oil ($16.95) from Castle Baths is pure, undiluted coconut oil that helps with combatting skin damage.
5. Aftershave
Herbaliz’s Aftershave ($6.50 for 1 oz) contains no alcohol, synthetic chemicals, or fragrances, meaning it is safe and gentle on skin post-shave. It will take a moment or two for the product to absorb into the skin because it is all-natural, but it is worth it for the hydrated and healthy skin it promotes.
6. Peace Oil
The Peace Oil line from MOXĒ promotes rest, calm, and grounding. There is the Peace Nasal Inhaler ($14.99) made only from pure essential oils, the Peace Room & Linen Spray ($14.99), or the Peace Essential Oil ($14.99) itself, which can be added to a diffuser, rubbed on the temple or back of the neck, or mixed into a warm bath.
The oils the peace line includes are: bergamot (for energy), mandarin (for soothing), geranium (for treating anxiety and depression), and lime (for emotional balance and focus).
They also have several other relaxing scents, like lavender or rose, which studies have shown to lower cortisol levels.
And All the Rest
Whether it’s tea to calm a soothing mind or self-care treats, there are many ways to take care of ourselves.
7. Scruff Rescue Signature Beard Oil
Don’t be fooled: grooming is not shallow or just about looks. Practicing good hygiene and grooming is a way of boosting confidence, creating good habits, and understanding there are many ways to take care of ourselves and our bodies. The Scruff Rescue Signature Beard Oil ($16) from Max Green Alchemy does all of that and more.
Vegan and all-natural, this beard oil contains grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and essentials oils of cedarwood and bergamot to promote healthy, hydrated, and silky beard growth.
8. Nighty Night® Tea
A good night’s sleep is crucial for one’s health and wellbeing. To help aid in what can be a frustrating nightly experience for everyone, try Traditional Medicinals’ Nighty Night® Tea ($6.79 for one box of 16 tea bags). This tea blend combines passionflower, chamomile, and linden flower, all of which are known to soothe stress and nerves, promote calm, and induce relaxation.
They have several other teas that can help with various concerns, like hibiscus tea for heart health, green tea lemongrass for energy, nettle leaf tea for joint health, and more.
With these products, men’s health can take front and center.
