The male hormone system, also known as the male endocrine system, governs many physiological processes, including reproduction, growth, metabolism, mood, and overall health. Hormones act as chemical messengers, traveling through the bloodstream to regulate various functions.

Testosterone is the most important (or primary) s*x hormone in ,males, there are a number of others that you may have heard of such as DHT (important for prostate health and hair growth), and oestrogen (very much associated with female health but does play a role in male bone health, mental health and cardiovascular health).

There are many roles that testosterone plays, and at different stages of life. It is important for secondary s*x characteristic development such as increased muscle mass, facial hair, and a deep voice. Many of its features are very intuitive such as increased energy levels, increased bone density, improved s*xual health including effects on libido, erectile functioning and in promoting healthy s***m formation.Some of its features are less intuitive such as improved mental health with improved mood, motivation, cognition and sleep.

Testosterone decreases over time as we age and with this we see a deterioration or reversal in some of the important functions it is required for. Some men encounter this reduction when they are older in their 60s or 70s, some men encounter this when they are much younger. The symptoms of reducing levels can be many but the most common are reduced energy levels, reduced strength, poor recovery, poor s*xual function like libido reduction and erectile dysfunction as well as reduced mood, increased anxiety, brain fog and sleep disruption.

As we know prevention is better that cure, so supporting our Hormonal system as we age through lifestyle intervention such as improved diet and resistance training, and appropriate supplementation, is an important strategy in promoting health and improving performance.

When Cognitive Blends and our initial product ‘Thrive One’ was in its infancy, Alan Farrell and I felt it was vital to understand who our customer was, what they were interested in and what concerns they had for their health. It was crucial for us to know them as deeply as we could thereby enabling us to best serve them with education, support and a product that represented not only what we as founders believe in, but also something our potential community aligned to.

1,686 people took part in our market research over a 3 week period. Thankfully much of the findings further reinforced our assumptions of how many people felt. That they wanted to live happier, healthier and fuller lives but were unsure where and who to turn to.

Some of our findings were as follows :
33% answered yes to experiencing a decline in wellbeing.
68% or 1,112 people answered yes to having joint pains muscle ache or pain in a limb.
52% or 880 people had sleep problems.
51% or 850 people felt fatigue.
45% or 753 people felt irritability.
34% or 555 people felt anxiety.
54% or 875 people felt physically exhausted or lacking vitality.
38% or 610 people felt unusual low mood.
22% or 363 people felt a decrease in libido.

These findings reaffirmed our desire to deliver a natural product, backed by clinical physicians and ingredients that had reservoirs of research underpinning it.
Our foundation ingredients of Vitamin D3, Zinc and Magnesium all contribute to healthy hormonal health. Research findings in 2018, found that 62% of people in Ireland had insufficient levels of Vitamin D3.
Similarly, a 2017 study found 20-30% had suboptimal magnesium levels and finally a 2015 study found 10% had suboptimal zinc levels.
