5 supplements for increasing testosterone
The reel suggests four supplements for testosterone enhancement, but the evidence is mixed. Tongkat Ali and Boron have some support for increasing testosterone, while Vitamin D3, Magnesium Citrate, and Zinc lack direct evidence for this specific claim.
“Vitamin D3 boosts testosterone”
There is no direct evidence linking Vitamin D3 supplementation to increased testosterone levels.
“Magnesium Citrate boosts testosterone”
No evidence supports Magnesium Citrate's role in boosting testosterone levels.
“Zinc boosts testosterone”
The evidence does not directly support Zinc's role in increasing testosterone levels.
“Tongkat Ali boosts testosterone”
There is moderate evidence that Tongkat Ali can modestly increase free testosterone levels.
“Boron boosts testosterone”
Studies show that Boron supplementation can significantly increase free testosterone levels.
5 supplements for increasing testosterone • Vitamin D: Correcting deficiencies can directly support testosterone production and androgen receptor activation • Magnesium: Essential for testosterone synthesis, deficiency correction boosts testosterone production • Zinc: Critical mineral required for testosterone production; supplementation corrects deficiency-related low testosterone • Tongkat Ali: Lowers SHBG, increasing free testosterone; enhances steroidogenesis by improving cholesterol transport into mitochondria for testosterone synthesis • Boron: Potentially reduces SHBG levels, freeing up bound testosterone; particularly useful at dosages around 6-12 mg daily _ From episode 106 of the FoundMyFitness podcast with @moreplatesmoredates
