Men’s Tonic
It is of vital importance for men to keep their prostate healthy and fertile. Most men as they age encounter some sort of prostate condition. This walnut-size gland sitting right below the bladder is in charge of providing nourishment to the semen, overall circulation to the muscles, and elimination (ejaculation). To keep a strong virility, men need to care for their seeds and make sure they keep a fertile makeup in order to prevent any issues when aging. Saw palmetto, suma, and yohimbe are master tonics known to enhance vigor, energize, and boost potency to the prostate.
