Facts on testosterone

Testosterone is the principal androgen, or male sex hormone, although it is present in both males and females.

In addition to occurring naturally in the body, testosterone is also used to treat certain medical conditions.

Some professional athletes take additional testosterone to improve athletic performance, although this practice is outlawed by most professional sports organizations.

Testosterone is made by the testes, and it’s primary job is muscle growth and bone density.

It’s next role is in contributing to male characteristics like voice tone and facial hair.

In the bodybuilding world, testosterone levels are critical because it determines the rate of muscle growth and recovery as well as strength gains.

Females produce lower levels of testosterone in their adrenal glands which makes it far more difficult for females to build muscle.

Declining testosterone levels

In the absence of exercise and diet, testosterone levels begin to decline at the age of 40 which explains a loss in muscle, bone mass, increased fat, weakness and depression.

How to control and manipulate testosterone levels with the food you eat

Vitamins and minerals
A diet high in vitamins and minerals, especially the B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc and manganese, will help support optimal testosterone production.

Fat and cholesterol
A diet high in fats will also optimize testosterone levels because fat provides cholesterol which is required to create testosterone.
