For many years, most medical and health-related research was done on men, and it was assumed that women have the same health problems and needs, We now realize that this is not true. The symptoms and progression of diseases differ between women and men. Women and men have unique needs due to their unique physiology, and each may benefit from different health strategies.

Men have special concerns with regard to the prostate (urinary dysfunction, infection, cancer), impotence and fertility issues. Men should look to supplements such as pollen extracts, zinc, and ginkgo biloba.
