How to raise natural testosterone levels? The functions of this important hormone

Testosterone is an androgenic (sex) hormone, nearly 90% of which is produced in Leydig cells in the testicles. The remaining amount is synthesised within the adrenal glands. It is not difficult to guess that the role of testosterone is directly related to the development of the body. This hormone turns out to have a significant influence on the development of the male body and determines a number of important aspects:

• determines the proper development of male genitals and maintains their proper functioning
• affects the proper production of semen (so-called spermatogenesis)
• responsible for the distribution of body fat
• contributes to the development of male pattern body hair
• affects the alignment of vocal cords and the low tone of the voice
• shows anabolic properties - stimulates the growth of muscle mass by hypertrophying its cells rather than increasing the amount of them
• influences growth processes, e.g. stimulates the development of long bones
• responsible for maintaining an adequate level of vitality and energy for the daily functioning
• is closely related to sexual performance and proper libido
• is related to well-being, resistance to fatigue and the process of sleeping and falling asleep

Therefore, it is hard to deny that testosterone is an extremely important hormone for physically active people. That's why athletes try to raise its natural levels. The question is: how can this be done without harming your health and without resorting to illegal drugs?

How to raise natural testosterone levels? An optimal and diverse diet

A properly structured dietary plan allows for an effective support to maintain optimal testosterone levels and even to lead to a natural increase in testosterone. Which active ingredients will be most important to supplement? First of all, it would be zinc, which has a documented and confirmed effect on maintaining the correct hormone concentration in the blood. Moreover, it is worth remembering the important role of vitamin B6 and its role in regulating the hormonal activity.

Both substances are available in easy-to-assimilate forms and a convenient capsule form found in the Olimp Sport Nutrition product. The ZMA dietary supplement is a safe training booster, which contains optimally adjusted amounts of zinc and vitamin B6 together with an appropriate dose of magnesium. The complex designed in this way provides real support for the body during the period of an increased psychophysical activity, can help to reduce the persistent fatigue (vitamin B6 and magnesium) and help maintain a proper energy metabolism (vitamin B6 and magnesium).

How to raise natural testosterone levels? Reduce stress and ensure proper regeneration

Stress and persistent fatigue are often seen as a cause of low testosterone levels. This, in turn, often results in a prolonged feeling of fatigue, a worsening of the mood and a marked reduction in motivation to perform even the simplest tasks. It should not be forgotten that insufficient testosterone levels translate into a worse recovery - extremely often people who sleep too short or neglect their sleep hygiene may find it difficult to maintain optimal levels of this hormone.

A good solution for the stress and intense fatigue are adaptogenic plant components, which contain active substances that help to maintain favourable resilience to high levels of psychophysical fatigue. An example is the extract from Ashwagandha, which was included in the Ashwagandha 600 Sport supplement by Olimp Sport Nutrition. These are capsules with the Ashwagandha KSM-66 root extract, which is standardized for 5% of the content of highly beneficial vitanolids. Ashwagandha root has been recommended for many years as a herbal and safe toning agent, which in the tradition of Ayurveda (Indian folk medicine) is seen as an aphrodisiac and a compound that provides a person with the right levels of vitality.
