However, its saponins – specifically the steroidal saponin protodioscin – the one believed to be the principal active nutrient derived from Tribulus that encances in a very effective way the luteinizing hormone (LH) production to raise testosterone levels.

Researchers from Lithuania provided athletes 625 milligrams of a 40%-saponin-containing Tribulus three times per day for 20 days, they reported that circulating testosterone increased significantly during the first 10 days of the experiment.

Ashwagandha Extract 

Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is a herbal supplement widely used in the Indian herbal medicine. 

It’s considered to be an “adaptogen”, which is a term to describe a herb that helps the body regain hormonal and psychological balance (homeostasis) in times of stress. And stress reduction is one of the claimed reasons to why it would be a testosterone booster.

If infertile men take three capsules containing Ashwagandha every day for a couple of months, their testosterone level rises by 17 percent and their sperm cell concentration increases by 167 percent. Doctors at Mahalaxmi Clinic in Mumbai, India write about it in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Indole-3-Carbinol

Indole-3-carbinol is a substance found in vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, turnips, and rutabagas.

In particular, Indole-3-carbinol seems to help the liver to metabolize estrogen more efficiently. While also simultaneously converting strong estrogen molecules into less potent kind. This should result in reduced estrogen levels and a more favorable estradiol/estrogen ratio.

In a human study conducted nearly 20 years ago, 6-7 mg/kg of IC3 per day was able to significantly increase the clearance of estrogens via urine in both, men and women.

Shilajit Extract 

Shilajit is a kind of clay, formed millions of years ago from the remains of invertebrate organisms.

Shilajit increase testosterone levels, promote healthy semen production, and slightly boost hemoglobin levels.

Researchers gave 28 infertile men aged between 30 and 45, all of whom had a low sperm count, 200 mg of a purified shilajit extract every day for 90 days. The 200 mg dose was divided over two intake moments, and the men took the supplement after meals. The researchers suspect that shilajit components reduce damage from free radicals in the testes, and thus boost the production of testosterone and sperm. The reduction in numbers of one type of white blood cell in the men suggests that at least some were suffering from an infection, and that the shilajit helped fight this. (2)

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea)

Broccoli are rich in anti-cancer compounds that indirectly boost testosterone production by breaking down and flushing the system of excess estrogen, which inhibits the production of male sex hormones.

Beet (Beta vulgaris)(root)

Beets increase nitric oxide levels in your blood, and that dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis for longer, harder erections. Also have been shown to lower blood pressure, boost performance, reduce inflammation, be very high in anti-oxidants, and others.

Boron Citrate

Boron is a mineral that is found in food and the environment.

If men take 10 mg boron every day for a week with their breakfast, their free testosterone levels rise by almost thirty percent and their estradiol goes down by forty percent, sports scientists at the University of Medical Sciences in Teheran discovered.
