Naturally Boost Testosterone
Anybody have any tips/advice on how to naturally boost testosterone? This includes everything from natural testosterone supplements to advice on what my diet should look like. If you recommend a supplement please only do so if you have used the supplement. Sorry but I don't really care what you read about the supplement or think you know about it. Here is a link to my current diet.

Foods that Boost Testosterone
Here's a really simple way to get more of the "He-hormone": eat more of the foods that boost testosterone.
Food that increases testosterone is not just for men, by the way, since women also naturally produce some testosterone in their bodies and it plays a vital roles for them as well, not the least of which is keeping a healthy libido. Without further ado, let's discuss the best foods that increase testosterone...
The general rule to keep in mind is that you want to focus on foods that contain more protein and fats and less carbs.
Despite what common wisdom claims, eatings fats doesn't make you fat, as long as they are natural fats, and not trans-fats. In fact. natural fats help keep you lean. Our bodies were evolved to metabolize natural fats readily.
And together with rich protein sources, natural fats also help your body manufacture more testosterone hormone.
Foods that Boost Testosterone
Having given you the general rule to follow in selecting foods, good specific choices for foods that increase testosterone would include:
Beef -- Yep, enjoy that juicy steak, and don't trim off the fat on the edges either.
Chicken and Eggs -- Both are great sources of protein. And make sure you don't throw out the egg yolks as many folks do.
The yolks are loaded with important vitamins like B1 and B2 and nutrients like lutein which maintain healthy eyes. But, they are also a good source for cholesterol, which -- believe it or not -- testosterone is produced from.
And by the way, egg yolks will not appreciably raise your cholesterol levels either. In fact, almost 90% of your body's cholesterol is manufactured by your liver, not from the foods you eat.
Seafood -- Especially Oysters. Seafood is high in protein, contains basically no carbs, and oysters in particular are loaded with the mineral zinc. Zinc has many functions in the body and just a couple of those are aiding in muscle manufacture and increased testosterone levels.
Vegetables and Herbs to Boost Testosterone Hormone
Believe it or not, there are also solid non-meat sources that should top your list of the foods that boost testosterone.
Just a couple of these are broccoli and cabbage, and both for the same reason -- that is, because they contain something called Indole-3-carbinol.
Indole-3-carbinol, in simple terms, helps to reduce estrogen. Estogen is the hormone that females produce more of (just like men produce more testosterone). However, men also naturally produce some estrogen.
If you have too much estrogen, it can result in more fat and less muscle, which is all bad for testosterone production.
Garlic is a wonderful herb that contains a potent active ingredient called allicin that helps to increase testosterone.
For a double whammy effect, slice fresh garlic thinly, then crisp lightly in a pan with a bit of butter or olive oil; finally, crack some eggs in the pan for garlic sunny side eggs. Delicious!
This is one of the editor's favorite food that increases testosterone, which he regularly eats for breakfast and helps keep his energy, vitality, and testosterone levels at peak levels.
Finally, an herb called tribulus terrestris is something that elite athletes and bodybuilders use to boost their testosterone levels.
Tribulus terrestris is both a libido enhancer (and has been proven in multiple clinical trials in this regard) and has an ability to increase testosterone.
How does it work?
Well, our bodies contain something called luteinizing hormone. One of luteinizing hormone's functions is to command the production of testosteron in our bodies.
As we age, the level of luteinizing hormone gradually diminishes.
Tribulus terrestris helps by naturally boosting the levels of luteinizing hormone which, therefore, can help our bodies produce more of the testosterone hormone again.
Your next step?
Take what you've just learned and modify your diet to include more of the foods that boost testosterone and consider using tribulus terrestris if you are looking for an extra increase.

Poly's don't increase test levels. It's saturated and monounsaturated. Poly's have other benefits.

Vince Gironda was quoted, he said he would put his reputation on the line for this.
He believed If somone took 4 dozen eggs a day, 100 liver tablet, and lots of glandulars. One could replicate the same quantity of testosterone from steroids but do it naturally.

OK, smart guy- tell me why their SHBG or albumin would be appreciably altered in 7 days of abstinence.

I get what you're saying, that testosterone levels would "peak", but SHBG levels would remain the same. I guess, thus allowing the levels of free testosterone to sky rocket (correct me if I'm wrong)? Sorry, If I jumped to a conclusion without assessing the what actually determines free testosterone levels. Guess I'm down to a once a week kind'a man. May GOD give me strength! j/k

So have you taken test showing that your natural test level is low and that is why you want to get on supplement that boost it?
Because at your age you should have a really high level of test...
IMO stick with the foods and good rest..
If you want to supplement something just do a ZMA before bed.
my $.02

I got the Primaforce ZMA's and wanted to know if it is better take all three of the recommended tablets before bed or spread them out during the day, because I actually felt a bit drowsy early in the day after I took one tablet. I don't know if it was because of the ZMA's or not. Thank's
