Knowing what foods to eat for boosting testosterone levels naturally can be confusing with all the misinformation out there. It's not your fault if you're unsure - there's more nutrition misinformation than ever these days. But through a decade of research on testosterone and helping thousands of men increase their T-levels naturally, I've identified three standout foods proven to help raise testosterone.
Raisins provide an amazing trifecta for testosterone - fructose to lower SHBG levels, resveratrol to increase T and lower estrogen, and boron which studies link to higher testosterone. SHBG binds to free testosterone, rendering it inactive, so lowering SHBG boosts your body's bioavailable testosterone.
Surprisingly, raw cacao is a nutritious, testosterone-boosting superfood loaded with antioxidants and gut-friendly elements. Research shows raw cacao improves cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and blood glucose. But it also contains key minerals like zinc, magnesium, iron and manganese that are essential for testosterone production.
Oysters are a true virility food, packed with magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, vitamin D, protein and rare amino acids like D-aspartic acid - all critical for optimal testosterone levels. Adding more oysters to your diet can provide a nice testosterone boost.
