Food is the most powerful non-prescription way to boost testosterone. Oysters contain zinc, which is essential to testosterone production. Zinc also increases muscle growth and endurance. Vegetables in the broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage family are known to rid the body of excess estrogen, thereby increasing testosterone. These test-friendly vegetables also help you lose weight, and excess weight in one cause of low testosterone. A Japanese study found that eating a lot of garlic and a high protein diet stimulates the body to produce testosterone. Food rich in B vitamins and bromeliad, such as bananas and pineapples, boost libido and testosterone production.
Magnesium (contained by Brazil nuts) is an important testosterone-helper. Athletes given 750 mg of magnesium daily showed a 26% increase in free testosterone over four weeks. Low levels of magnesium are likewise correlated with low T. Vitamin D is also known to be essential for testosterone production and it hampers aromatization (the conversion of testosterone into estrogen). You can get vitamin D naturally from sunlight and from eggs, but vitamin D is so difficult to come by in a modern lifestyle that supplementation is usually recommended. Men given vitamin D showed testosterone levels rise by 20% within a year. So, when it comes to testosterone supplements, the two that work the best are magnesium and vitamin D.
