Warnings

  • It's important to note that, in some cases, decreases in testosterone levels may signal an underlying health problem (such as a thyroid disorder or depression). Therefore, if you experience such symptoms as erectile dysfunction, hair loss, and/or fatigue, it's important to consult your physician rather than self-treating with dietary supplements.
  • Testosterone should not be taken by any man with prostate or breast cancer. If you have heart disease, are taking some medications such as blood thinners, have an enlarged prostate, or have kidney or liver disease, you will need to discuss with your doctor whether or not testosterone therapy is right for you.

Home remedies

Dr. Morgentaler points out that testosterone therapy has many positive benefits. These include “improvement in energy, sexual desire and performance, muscle mass and strength, bone density and mood.” And the great news is that you can safely increase testosterone levels without doctor-regulated therapy : Plenty of studies show that dietary and lifestyle changes can increase your body’s natural production of the hormone. More and more research suggests that Testosterone therapy may help men combat prostate problems. It also shows that the balance of Testosterone to your other hormones may be vital to your general health.

  • Consume a high-protein diet. Healthful foods rich in protein include grass-fed beef, wild salmon, eggs and pastured pork and poultry.
  • Zinc and vitamin E are both great for boosting testosterone levels. Avocados and asparagus are both high in vitamin E. And great sources of zinc include kelp, mushrooms, and oysters. If you’re on the go, you can pack raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds.
  • Chrysin, a flavonoid extracted from passion flower, is thought to prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. As a result of this blocking action, it helps to raise free testosterone levels naturally.
  • Raw Pine Pollen is the richest seedbed of testosterone derived from plants; since it is the male sperm of pine trees.
  • Oysters: Not only do oysters make an excellent appetizer they are also a good source of minerals like selenium and zinc, and are also high in protein. Zinc helps to raise sperm and testosterone production.
  • Tribulus terrestris is most often used for infertility, erectile dysfunction, and low libido. In the last decade, it has become popular to improve sports performance.
  • Resveratrol increases the pituitary hormones responsible for testosterone production in the testes by 2.7 times greater than the placebo. And even better news for men, further studies have also shown that resveratrol increased sperm count by 76% – that’s almost double! Furthermore, although high levels of testosterone have often been associated with the increased risk of developing prostate cancer, resveratrol has been found to potentially prevent and treat prostate cancer.
  • Healthy fats : Fat contains cholesterol. And your body converts cholesterol to testosterone. Aim for a diet with mostly healthy fats, monosaturated and unsaturated. That includes nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocados and omega-3 fish. You also need to include some saturated fats. Lean protein including wild fish, farm-raised poultry, = and grass-fed beef have low saturated fats. But make sure to have enough to help support testosterone production. That in turn will help build your muscle.
  • Flaxseed is considered to be a phytoestrogen (phyto = plant) and have the ability to bind to estrogen receptors in the body resulting in lower estrogen levels.
  • Eurycoma Longifolia : Research in animals and humans suggests it might increase testosterone in the body.
  • Creatine is also helpful for boosting DHT levels naturally, as evidenced by the results of more than 70 peer-reviewed human studies.
  • Sorghum : Studies have shown that sorghum helps amplify the expression of 5-alpha-reductase, effectively boosting DHT levels, which a 1996 study published in the American Journal of Medical Genetics says "is required for full masculinization of the external genitalia."
  • Boron : Numerous studies have demonstrated the testosterone-boosting effects of boron, an essential trace mineral that lowers estrogen levels and increases free testosterone levels, including DHT. Boron also helps reduce levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, or SHBG, in the blood, allowing more testosterone and DHT to bind to hormone receptors throughout the body.
  • Exercise. Study after study proves that the right kind of exercise is what a man needs for healthy testosterone production. All the healthy eating and supplementation in the world will have only minimal benefit if a man sits around all day on the couch watching sports rather than playing them.
  • Aframomum Melegueta extract has been established to be beneficial in bodybuilding purposes as it obtains intense anti-estrogenic properties and promotes an increase in body weight and testosterone levels in serum by more than 300%.
  • Myomin helps reducing estradiol levels and achieve healthy levels of other hormones such as progesterone and testosterone.
