Testosterone: The Sexy Hormone
Natural Alternatives to Synthetic Testosterone Replacement
Zinc
The male sex organs use more zinc than any other part of the body. Due to zinc deficiency in the foods we eat, we often are not getting what we need. Many men with impotency problems are found to be deficient in this mineral. Zinc also stops the pituitary gland from making prolactin, according to research done by Alan Judd at the University of Virginia Medical School. Prolactin stops testosterone production. The body absorbs zinc citrate easier. Low levels of zinc in women are related to vaginal dryness and lower sex drives.
ASD
Scientists have been able to synthesize the main precursor to testosterone - androstenedione or ASD. ASD works with the body, making just the amount of testosterone that it needs.
Lycopene
Lycopene is an important nutrient found in tomatoes, which seems to be important for sexual health in men. The testicles contain more lycopenes than any other part of the body; impotent men have very low levels of it. Being recently discovered, scientists haven’t figured out why the testicles contain such a high amount, except that this plant extract acts as a shield to the sex organs. Lycopene is one of the strongest antioxidants found, hundreds of times more powerful than vitamins C, E and pycnogenol or grape seed extract. So give your man lots of tomato concentrated foods to help ensure his sexual longevity!
Tomatos contain lycopene, an essential ingredient for men’s reproductive health.
Herbs
There are
many herbs to help balance your hormonal levels. By working with
your doctor or naturopath you can find just the right herbs.
Whether experiencing PMS, menopause or peri-menopausal symptoms,
there are herbs that can help bring your body chemistry back into
balance.
It may be safer to let the body use the mild forms
of phytohormones in herbs to help bring back sexual potency,
before resorting to concentrated and controversial forms of
hormones that can have strong and undesirable side effects.
