Proven Supplements to Increase Testosterone Ft. Andrew Huberman

How to Increase Testosterone Naturally

In this section, the speaker discusses how to increase testosterone naturally through diet and supplements.

Importance of Diet

• Adequate food intake is necessary for testosterone production.

• Low-fat diets can be detrimental to reproductive health.

• Saturated fats are important for hormone production, including testosterone.

• Eggs and red meat from good sources are also beneficial.

Supplements

• Zinc and magnesium supplementation may be helpful.

• Tongkat Ali can increase free testosterone by reducing sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).

• SHBG is important for time-release of testosterone, but low levels can lead to issues like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

• Fadogia can increase luteinizing hormone, which signals the testes to make more testosterone.

Dosage and Precautions

• 400mg of Tongkat Ali and 600mg of Fadogia per day are recommended dosages.

• Blood work should be done before and after trying any supplements. Liver enzymes should also be included in those profiles.

Supplements for Testosterone

In this section, the speaker discusses various supplements that can increase testosterone levels. He emphasizes the importance of sourcing and quality control when choosing supplements.

Tongkat Ali and Fadogia

• Tongkat Ali and Fadogia are two supplements that can mildly increase testosterone levels.

• Solar Ray makes a reliable Tongkat Ali supplement, while Barlow's Herbal Elixirs makes a reliable Fadogia supplement.

• Be cautious of other brands using the speaker's face to advertise their products without his approval.

Boron and Nettles

• Boron may reduce sex hormone binding globulin when taken in doses of 2mg per day.

• Nettles may have prostate effects, so it is important to check your PSA levels if you are male.

Quality Control

• The quality control provided by doctors in clinics for TRT is higher than that of the supplement industry.

• Always check sources and consult with a doctor before taking any supplements or starting TRT.

Blood Work Panels
