Types of Men’s Health and Wellness Companies
Lab Testing
In order to reduce the stigma associated with common men’s health issues and provide accessible solutions, many new men’s wellness companies operate through telehealth and online pharmacies. With very few visits to a doctor or from an app on a smartphone, companies like HealthLabs.com and LetsGetChecked help men treat common issues quickly and discreetly. Through these companies men can order a variety of tests without needing to visit their doctor.
Lab tests usually require a simple blood draw or urine sample and cost much less when ordering them through the company and not a doctor. Some tests are performed at home, while other companies partner with labs to provide a quick and easy testing service. The results of these tests are sent to the patient’s private account and aren’t shared with any insurance provider or doctor, unless the patient decides to share that information themself. This is a great way to test for allergies, STDs, or any other health concern without the hassle of going to a doctor.
Hygiene
Other men’s health and wellness companies focus on men’s cosmetics and hygiene. Companies likeHarry’s and Brickell Men’s Products Hair loss solutions range from a daily supplement that provides essential nutrients for hair growth to shampoos with finasteride, a chemical that helps prevent male pattern baldness. Prices vary depending on treatment and many companies offer subscriptions, with bundles of several months’ supply of products.
Hair Loss
By the age of 50, approximately 85 percent of men will have thinner hair. Hair thinning and baldness are common in men because of genetics, but could also be caused by outside stressors or harsh chemicals. Companies like Keeps, Roman, and Folexin help men treat hair loss with shampoos and supplements that promote natural hair growth.
