Supplements are a great option for those looking to improve their overall health. Many supplements can have positive health effects on the body, including improving testosterone production.

Tribulus Terrestris

• A fruit-producing Mediterranean plant that is often taken to help increase athletic performance and can help with a variety of other health issues.
• Studies have shown that it can help increase testosterone in animals, but so far, no evidence has shown the same effect in humans

Ashwagandha

• A small shrub that grows in India, it is commonly used to help with stress or sometimes used as an adaptogen (supplements that help with promoting homeostasis in the body)
• In one study, Ashwagandha was shown to have increased testosterone levels between 10% and 22% in some men

Fenugreek

• Fenugreek is an herb native to the Mediterranean region
• Some evidence shows that Fenugreek can help with testosterone production

DHEA

• A hormone that is produced by the body’s adrenal glands. It is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone
• Most evidence that has shown DHEA only works to increase testosterone in older men

Pine Bark Extract

• As you may have guessed, Pine Bark extract is extracted from Pine Trees. It is often used to help with inflammation and supporting heart health
• In most studies, pine bark was paired with L-Arginine (an amino acid) and was shown to have a positive effect on individuals with low testosterone and erectile dysfunction

Ginger

• Ginger comes from the root of a plant that grows in the warmer parts of Asia, such as India, China, and Japan
• In a variety of different studies performed on rats and humans, testosterone increased. One study featuring over 74 men, showed testosterone increase 17% after taking ginger

Zinc

• Zinc is one of the essential trace elements. Essential trace elements are a group of minerals that the body requires in trace amounts to function normally
• Zinc has been shown to help with testosterone production and fertility, however, it is likely only beneficial to those who are in a zinc deficit

Vitamin D

• Some evidence shows that Vitamin D may assist in the creation of testosterone

Garlic

• Garlic is a species of plant from the onion family.
• Only one study has been done on the positive effect of garlic on testosterone, but it was done on rats, not humans

Basella Alba

Chrysin

• A flavonoid that occurs naturally in a variety of plants and substances such as passionflower, silver linden, geranium species, and honey
• The human body does not absorb chrysin particularly well, but it was shown to increase sperm mobility, sperm concentration, and testosterone levels

D-Aspartic Acid

• D-Aspartic acid is one form of the amino acid, aspartic acid
• Works by creating more follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Both of these stimulate leydig cells in the testes, which then create more testosterone
