Essential for men's virility and testosterone production, Vitamin D is widely deficient and declines with age. Evidence makes it pretty clear that Vitamin D is tied to healthy T-levels in men. The only question is, how does it work? Nobody knows (yet), but some possible bio-activities and pathways include: Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) are present in the testes, prostate … [Read more...]
Testosterone
Starting at around age 30, men's testosterone levels begin to naturally decline. T-Boosters are nutrients that help men keep their testosterone levels at their peak. Some T-boosters increase T production, while others can raise T-levels indirectly, by neutralizing “T-killer” enzymes and female sex hormones. T-Boosting nutrients may be taken alone, but are more often combined into complex supplements.
DHEA for Testosterone
DHEA is a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen, but it's surrounded by question marks and a Big Warning* DHEA is a type of hormone made by the adrenal glands and the testes. It is unclear whether DHEA has any impact on circulating T-levels, but it does seem to have some links to testosterone: Needed for testosterone synthesis, DHEA is a nutritional precursor … [Read more...]
Testosterone Boosters vs. Prohormones
Looking for ways to beef up lean muscle mass while getting sliced, diced and shredded? There are tons of products you can take to energize workouts and change your body composition. Outside of the dangerous and ill-advised steroid route, there are two notable kinds of ingestibles that have long been used to achieve "peak physical performance" goals – prohormones and … [Read more...]
Zinc for Testosterone
Antioxidant mineral that's a no-holds-barred T-booster with bonus benefits for men's virility, potency and performance. Zinc (Zn) is one of the best nutrients for supporting healthy testosterone levels, partly because it seems to boost T in a number of different ways: Serves as raw material for T. For this reason alone, zinc is an essential T-booster--your body can't … [Read more...]
D-Aspartic Acid for Testosterone
Amino acid DAA seems to stimulate the production of luteinizing hormone and increase testosterone levels. D-aspartic acid (DAA) is a nutritional newcomer, but early research suggests it might have game-changing T booster potential. DAA's bio-activities include: Triggering activity of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn signals the testes to produce and release … [Read more...]
