Testosterone is the building block of your entire body. When you’re young, it helps define what you look like, how you build muscle, and influences your health in various ways.

As we get older, however, testosterone production begins to slow down and can lead to loss of motivation, decreased muscle mass, hair loss, and several other health-related issues that are not fun to deal with at all.

Thankfully, there is a variety of testosterone boosting foods, supplements, and products that can help improve your testosterone levels and in turn, improve your quality of life.

Navigating the tricky world of testosterone boosting products can be difficult, so you’ll want to learn as much as possible about how and why to improve your testosterone levels before jumping into taking supplements/boosters.

Here is what you need to know about testosterone boosters, supplements, and your health.

What is Testosterone?

Why You May Need to Boost Your Testosterone

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid produced mostly by males that is responsible for defining primary and secondary physical characteristics in males, deepening the voice, and regulating the male sex drive.

It also contributes to hair growth, muscle growth, bone density, and mood.

Testosterone is the subject of regular study, with much research suggesting it has a significant impact on memory, cognitive function, energy, and other aspects of the way our bodies function day-to-day.

If you’re feeling fatigued, tired, or unmotivated, testosterone may be to blame. The hormone helps regulate mood and energy levels in your body.

As you get older, your body stops producing as much testosterone leading to the possibility of having too little testosterone in your system. Per Harvard Medical School, the effects of too little testosterone vary:

  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Low libido/sex drive
  • Impotence
  • Small testicles
  • Lower sperm count
  • Infertility
  • Increased breast size
  • Hot flashes
  • Irritability/Hostility
  • Depression
  • Hair loss (face and body)
  • Brittle bones

Increasing testosterone levels may help prevent or treat these issues on top of improving mood and energy. Supplements and boosters may be able to help.

What is a Testosterone Booster?

Quite simply, a testosterone booster is food or natural supplement that directly increases testosterone or related hormones. Some boosters prevent being converted into estrogen.

Either way, they can be powerful tools in your health and fitness regime. You’ll find a wide array of various natural and supplemental testosterone boosters on the market to suit your personal needs.

Remember to always check with your doctor before trying a new treatment or supplement.

Types of Testosterone Boosters

Eating tuna will certainly help boost your testosterone levels, but sometimes you need a bit more of a boost than what the bit of fish can provide.

There are several types of testosterone boosters available today, but they come in different forms derived from natural ingredients.

Whether it comes in capsule, spray, or powder form, a testosterone booster is your ally in the battle to build more muscle and live a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few of the most common types of supplements:

  • Over the counter supplements, like what you’d find at a natural grocer
  • Natural “testosterone foods” like tuna, beef, and egg yolks
  • Spray extracted/derived from deer antlers
  • D-Aspartic Acid
  • Vitamin D
  • Tribulus Terrestris (an herb that has medicinal uses)
  • Fenugreek (another type of herb that can help treat medical conditions)
  • Ginger
  • Zinc
  • Ashwagandha (an herb used in ancient Indian medicine)

How Testosterone Boosters Can Improve and Optimize Your Health

Increasing your testosterone potentially leads to better muscle gains, optimal fitness, and a much better quality of life. Low testosterone may lead to stress, anger, depression, and anxiety. No one wants that.

There are different ingredients in most testosterone booster products that are clinically proven to assist with increasing your levels while reducing cortisol (the nightmarish stress hormone that must be avoided at all costs).

By pumping up your levels of this vital hormone, a booster can help you sleep too. A consistent good night’s sleep will help improve memory, natural testosterone production, and overall health. By these systems working in tandem with each other, you can use testosterone boosters to your advantage, optimizing your health in the process.

Conclusion – Where to go from here

You can learn more about testosterone in addition to both natural and supplemental testosterone boosters by doing thorough research. Read medical studies and ask questions about the product while purchasing. Plenty of online resources are a simple search away and taking the time to educate yourself about these products, their impact on your health, and their effects on your testosterone levels can lead to healthier decisions that will work out better in the long run. Thoroughly checking a company’s web page and even reaching out to them about their product will help you learn more and if you’re ever in doubt, always ask your doctor.
