Progene Daily Complex
Progene
Overview
Progene Daily Complex aims to support male health by providing a blend of vitamins, minerals, a hormone precursor (DHEA), and a diverse array of herbal extracts targeted at 'testosterone and performance loss.' While it contains essential vitamins and minerals at adequate to high doses, the effectiveness of the proprietary herbal blends and the direct male health impacts are less clear due to undisclosed dosages of individual herbs within the blends and mixed research on many of these ingredients, particularly at the overall blend's dose (200mg).
The Good
Provides essential vitamins (A, E, B-complex) and Zinc at 100% or more of the Daily Value, addressing common nutritional gaps.
Includes L-Arginine, an amino acid known to support nitric oxide production and male cardiovascular health.
Formulated with a wide variety of herbal ingredients traditionally used for male health, energy, and stress adaptation, such as Tongkat Ali, Korean Ginseng, and Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera).
The Bad
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) content: While marketed for testosterone support, DHEA is a hormone precursor that can increase estrogen levels and is banned by many sports organizations.
Potential for hormone-related side effects: DHEA can cause side effects like acne, hair loss, facial hair growth, aggressiveness, irritability, and gynecomastia.
Proprietary blend (Global Male Herbal Blend) obscures specific ingredient dosages, making it difficult to assess efficacy and potential interactions for components like Saw Palmetto, Damiana, Sarsaparilla, Ginger, Muira Puama, Eleuthero, and various Ginsengs.
