What foods increase testosterone?

[Shafty]

I agree with just about everything you said except this... most natural supp like tribulus gives only marginal increases in test level, at best. they do work but not very effectively. Also, taking a estrogen blocker (like clomid and nolva) does not drop your estrogen levels, and aromatase inhibitor (dex and letro) does. Estrogen blockers are Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) which means that they bind to certain estrogen receptors, preventing estrogen to bind to it. They do not in any way reduce the amount of estrogen in the body.

Another caveat about increased test levels is that most of one's testosterone is rendered useless in the body by a SHBG. This is a gobulin that binds strongly to test. So only a very small percentage is actually usable, this is called Free Testosterone. There are now new supps that are supposed to block SHBG or strongly bind to it, if this is truely the case you can actually get the benefits of increased test without actually increasing your Total Test levels.

Yes, yes. Sorry about that... I got my terminology mixed up. I meant aromatase inhibitors, not blockers.

What of these sex hormone binding globulin inhibitors... if I understand correctly, one would experience a dramatic increase in "functional" test levels just by taking such supplements alone, since a larger percentage of ones total test would be "freed" up? This sounds very promising, if it actually works in practice.

By the way does anyone remember when Red used to eat his own semen, as to raise his testosterone levels. I know he will kick my ass for bringing that up so rudely, but I can't stop laughing everytime I think of that (all in good fun). Can you imagine him gobbling his own spunk up everytime for the "testosterone boost"? Hahahahahahaha!

Did he really do that? Man.... I heard him mention something about it, but I thought he was just joking around. :O

What's funny about that is that semen doesn't really contain much, if any, testosterone at all.

So what's a good SHBG inhibitor??

 

[Provider]

A high fat diet is necessary to stimulate maximum testostrone production. Diets low in fats or products that contain fat, like a vegetarian diet, produce much lower testostrone levels than a meat or fish rich diet. The fat produces cholestrol, which is needed for testostrone synthesis. There is about 100mg of cholestrol in 3oz of red meat. Weight training also stimulates the production of higher than normal testostrone levels.

The first product that comes to mind is ActivaTE by DesignerSupplements. This a relatively new company that has put out some cutting edge products. They were the ones who released SuperDrol, prolly one of the most potent and still legal androgen around. There are a few other brands but i trust these guys before the others.
