Male Extend: A Science-Backed Formula to Support Male Vitality, Libido & Testosterone

Introduction

In today's fast-paced world, stress, aging, and environmental factors are taking a toll on male vitality. At Maxion Nutrition, we understand that healthy testosterone levels and a strong libido aren’t just about performance - they’re key to well-being, confidence, and intimacy. That's why we've developed Male Extend—a premium, clinically inspired supplement designed to help men reclaim their edge at every life stage.

Why a Healthy Sex Life Matters

A fulfilling sex life fosters emotional connection, intimacy, and physical health. According to the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality, couples who report regular sexual activity also report higher relationship satisfaction, reduced stress, and improved mental health. Yet many men struggle with libido, performance, or confidence—and a major contributor is declining testosterone.

Testosterone therapy may be an appropriate treatment option for some patients but has been associated with a range of potential risks and adverse effects such as fluid retention and obstructive sleep apnea.

Testosterone Decline in Canadian Men: What the Research Shows

Testosterone naturally declines with age, often starting as early as age 30:

This natural decline can be worsened by:

• Obesity

• Environmental endocrine disruptors (like BPA and phthalates)

• Sedentary lifestyles

• Chronic stress

Male Extend: 16 Synergistic Ingredients to Support Male Vitality

Our expertly crafted formulation combines 16 potent, research-backed nutrients to support sexual interest, testosterone levels, energy, and performance.

1. Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia)

Dose: 200–400 mg/day
Benefits: Enhances testosterone, libido, and mood. Clinical trials show significant improvements in testosterone and erectile function in men with late-onset hypogonadism (Tambi & Imran, 2010).

2. Damiana (Turnera diffusa)

Dose: 400–800 mg/day
Benefits: Traditionally used as an aphrodisiac. Studies show pro-sexual effects through dopamine modulation and increased nitric oxide (Estrada-Reyes et al., 2009).

3. Muira Puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides)

Dose: 250–500 mg/day
Benefits: Brazilian herb shown to improve libido and erectile function. Research supports its role in sexual desire and penile hardness (Waynberg, 1990).

4. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)

Dose: 250–500 mg/day
Benefits: Known for adaptogenic and hormonal balancing effects, especially beneficial for reproductive health and stress management (Thakur et al., 2012).

5. Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium)

Dose: 250–1000 mg/day (icariin standardized)
Benefits: Inhibits PDE5 (like Viagra), enhancing erectile function and testosterone production (Dell’Agli et al., 2008).

6. Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii)

Dose: 1.5–3 g/day
Benefits: Boosts libido and energy without affecting hormone levels; particularly effective for sexual desire (Gonzales et al., 2002).

7. Tribulus Terrestris

Dose: 750–1500 mg/day
Benefits: Supports testosterone and sexual desire via increased luteinizing hormone (Neychev & Mitev, 2005).

8. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Dose: 300–600 mg/day
Benefits: Reduces cortisol, increases testosterone, enhances semen quality (Lopresti et al., 2019; Mahdi et al., 2009).

9. Panax Ginseng

Dose: 200–400 mg/day
Benefits: Enhances nitric oxide production, improves libido and erectile function (Jang et al., 2008).

10. Velvet Bean (Mucuna pruriens)

Dose: 250–500 mg/day
Benefits: Boosts dopamine and testosterone; improves mood and semen quality (Shukla et al., 2009).

11. L-Arginine

Dose: 2–3 g/day
Benefits: Precursor to nitric oxide, improving blood flow, erection quality, and vascular health (Chen et al., 1999).

12. CoQ10 (Ubiquinone)

Dose: 100–200 mg/day
Benefits: Antioxidant that supports endothelial function and sperm motility (Safarinejad, 2009).

13. Zinc

Dose: 10–30 mg/day
Benefits: Critical for testosterone synthesis; deficiency linked to hypogonadism (Prasad et al., 1996).It lowers the Aromatase a key enzyme in the body which regulates the conversion of androgens to estrogens, when testosterone levels are low or estrogen levels are high, lowering or inhibiting aromatase activity may help re-establish healthy hormone levels.

14. Boron

Dose: 3–10 mg/day
Benefits: Increases free testosterone and reduces sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) (Naghii et al., 2011).

15. Selenium

Dose: 55–200 mcg/day
Benefits: Improves sperm motility, testosterone levels, and antioxidant protection (Keskes-Ammar et al., 2003).

Environmental Impacts on Testosterone

Emerging evidence links endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)—like BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals—to reduced testosterone levels and male fertility (Meeker & Ferguson, 2011). EDCs are found in:

• Plastics and packaging

• Processed foods

• Personal care products

• Pesticides

Reducing exposure is critical for hormonal balance and sexual health.

Lifestyle Tips for a Healthy Sex Life & Testosterone Levels

Suboptimal testosterone levels may be amenable to lifestyle interventions. For instance, high-intensity interval training has been found to increase free testosterone in older, sedentary men, as well as masters’ athletes. In addition, a 2022 systematic review found that exercise training of any intensity increased basal levels of testosterone in older adults. Studies also suggest that alcohol consumption may reduce circulating concentrations of total testosterone.

In addition to exercise, nutritional interventions that focus on natural aromatase inhibitors and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may be appropriate in personalized treatment interventions. The two enzymes, aromatase and 5-alpha reductase, affect the conversion of testosterone to estrogen and the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, respectively. Modulating these enzymes may therefore impact on the levels of testosterone and estrogens circulating in the body. Studies indicate that a range of nutrients, from vitamins to herbs to flavonoids, affect these enzymes.

✅ Exercise Regularly – Especially resistance training and HIIT
✅ Prioritize Sleep – Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep
✅ Eat Whole Foods – Rich in healthy fats, protein, zinc, and antioxidants
✅ Manage Stress – Chronic cortisol lowers testosterone
✅ Limit Alcohol – Excess intake can disrupt hormonal pathways
✅ Avoid EDCs – Switch to glass containers, clean personal care, and organic foods

Final Word: Power Up With Male Extend

Backed by a scientifically sound formulation, Male Extend by Maxion Nutrition is designed for men who want to reclaim energy, revive libido, and restore confidence—naturally.

Whether you're 30 or 70, this expertly blended formula helps bridge the gap between aging and vitality, with each ingredient working synergistically to support testosterone production, enhance blood flow, and boost desire.

For men with suboptimal testosterone, addressing lifestyle considerations and nutritional interventions first is not only safe but may lead to the desired results. In addition, as with other hormonal imbalances, low testosterone may indicate a change in a patient’s overall physiology. From a functional medicine perspective, low testosterone levels or a testosterone deficiency diagnosis may be markers for the presence of an underlying physiological imbalance

An individual patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors should be assessed to help create a personalized treatment plan for their low testosterone levels or testosterone deficiency diagnosis.
