Ways to Naturally Increase Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily by the testicles and is often associated with male virility and manhood in general.

Testosterone does play a large role in male sexuality and reproduction. Testosterone is vital for male sexual and reproductive function, muscle mass and hair growth. Testosterone also has some less “flashy,” roles, such as maintaining bone density, levels of red blood cells and a general sense of well-being.

A wide range of chemical exposures can adversely impact testosterone production in men. At the same time, estrogen levels typically increase due to widespread exposures to estrogen-mimicking compounds in food, water and environmental pollutants.
