🍄‍🟫 Improving male health

Andropause, sometimes referred to as "male menopause”, is a condition associated with a gradual decline in testosterone levels in ageing men, typically starting around the age of 40 and becoming more pronounced after 50. Unlike female menopause, which occurs relatively quickly, andropause is a slower and more subtle process. Symptoms include reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat, fatigue, decreased bone density, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, mood swings, irritability, depression, difficulty concentrating and decreased motivation. Insomnia or poor sleep quality are common.

With the increase in average life expectancy, age-related testosterone decline has become a cause of decreased quality of life in men. A study from Japan has investigated a novel solution: the enoki mushroom. An extract of the mushroom containing adenosine was tested in middle-aged and elderly men, based on an evaluation of Heinemann's Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scores. The mushroom and placebo were administered to healthy men with AMS scores of 27 to 49 for 12 weeks. AMS score (primary endpoint) and testosterone level (secondary endpoint) were evaluated before and at 12 weeks. Enoki for 12 weeks significantly but moderately improved the sexual subscale of the AMS. The number of participants with increases in total testosterone levels ≥0.5 ng/mL was significantly higher in the mushroom group than in the placebo group (17 versus 9).

The daily oral dose (1250 mg) of enoki mushroom extract contained 5.6 mg of adenosine. Given the modest degree of changes, enoki mushroom cannot be proposed as a core treatment, but certainly has a role as a dietary add-on.
