Key points
In short: England published its first Men's Health Strategy in November 2025, a 10-year plan built around six areas including improving access to healthcare, addressing societal norms and tackling conditions that disproportionately affect men. Men in the UK are more likely to die prematurely than women, and the reasons go well beyond diet: lower health literacy, stigma around seeking help, and less use of preventative care. Nutrition sits alongside those factors rather than substituting for them.
- What the strategy covers: a 10-year national plan for England, with six areas spanning access to healthcare, individual behaviours, living and working conditions, social and community networks, societal norms, and specific health conditions.
- Why men's outcomes differ: lower health literacy, stigma around asking for help, and limited engagement with preventative care, alongside lifestyle factors.
- Zinc: contributes to the maintenance of normal serum testosterone concentrations, to normal fertility and reproduction, and to the normal function of the immune system.
- Selenium: contributes to normal spermatogenesis, to normal thyroid function, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
- Vitamin D: contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function, and to the normal function of the immune system. NHS guidance is 10 micrograms daily through autumn and winter.
- Magnesium: contributes to normal muscle function, the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Thiamine (B1): contributes to normal cardiac function.
- Creatine: increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, at a daily intake of 3g.
- The most useful step for most men: engaging with preventative care at all. Blood pressure checks, the NHS Health Check for 40 to 74 year olds, and raising symptoms early do more than any supplement.

Why Does Men’s Health Need a Wake‑Up Call?
Did you know men in the UK are 60% more likely to die prematurely than women? This shocking stat, reported by the BBC, highlights why the government is launching the first-ever Men’s Health Strategy. You can read more about the initiative on GOV.UK.
The causes go far beyond lifestyle - think lower health literacy, stigma around asking for help, and limited access to preventative care.
At Metabolics, we believe a balanced diet should always come first. But even with the best intentions, it’s not always easy to meet your nutritional needs through food alone, especially as you age, manage stress, or lead a demanding lifestyle.
That’s where targeted supplementation can make a meaningful difference, helping you stay energised, resilient, and supported every day.
