Infertility is the inability of a person, animal or plant to reproduce by natural means. It is usually not the natural state of a healthy adult, except notably among certain eusocial species (mostly haplodiploid insects).

In humans, infertility is the inability to become pregnant after one year of intercourse without contraception involving a male and female partner. There are many causes of infertility, including some that medical intervention can treat. Estimates from 1997 suggest that worldwide ...

Why-is-testosterone-important-for-health?

Why is testosterone important for health? 

Why-is-testosterone-important-for-health?_0_0

Why-is-testosterone-important-for-health?_0_1

Testosterone is the main sex hormone and anabolic steroid in men. In humans, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues, such as the testicles and prostate, as well as in promoting secondary sexual characteristics, such as increased muscle and bone mass and body hair. In women, testosterone also has an important role in maintaining optimal hormonal balance. 1

Why-is-testosterone-important-for-health?_0_2

One of the easiest ways to stimulate natural testosterone production is by correcting the underlying vitamin and mineral deficiency. Both food and supplements, such as a once-a-day multivitamin, can provide the vital micronutrients you need to boost testosterone production and improve overall vitality, libido, strength, and body composition. But before this happens, you need to know if and when you may be deficient in testosterone. 2

Why-is-testosterone-important-for-health?_0_3

Testosterone deficiency affects 10-40% of the world's population and is known to increase with age, with an exponential increase in men and women aged 45-50 years. Optimizing your micronutrient intake by eating more fruits and vegetables and supplements can help you increase natural testosterone production and correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In this regard, there are some that are quite more important than others in terms of testosterone production.

The-most-important-nutritional-components-in-favor-of-testosterone_1_0

The-most-important-nutritional-components-in-favor-of-testosterone_1_1

Although this guide is focused on micronutrients and vitamins, we do not recommend skipping any of the groups of macroelements (proteins, carbohydrates and fats). A well-balanced diet can explain many imbalances in our bodies, even those that contribute to testosterone production, but usually in our modern dietary lifestyle this is not enough to maintain optimal levels.

Vitamin-D3

Vitamin D3 

Vitamin-D3_1_0

Vitamin-D3_1_1

Vitamin D3, in addition to the sunshine vitamin, is actually a hormonal precursor. Some scientists believe that it is a hormone itself. Now, vitamin D3 through research has shown that increasing vitamin D3 levels is associated with increased testosterone levels in men and, in a limited number of studies, in women.&nbsp;

Vitamin-D3_1_2

Vitamin D3 is fantastic for improving overall immune health, metabolic health, and if you're under stress, you're wasting vitamin D3 at a much faster rate. So it's even more important if you've been through periods of stress, consume more vitamin D3 to restore it in the body and support testosterone production.

Vitamin-D3_1_3

Several studies have shown a positive relationship between vitamin D levels and total and free testosterone levels. Most studies have found that people with low vitamin D levels are much more likely to have low testosterone levels compared to those with an adequate amount of vitamin D. Studies have also shown that low-dose vitamin D supplementation can increase free and total testosterone by up to 25%.&nbsp;

Vitamin-A

Vitamin A 

Vitamin-A_1_0

Studies have shown a positive link between vitamin A and androgen production. Vitamin A in the body is converted into retinoic acid. In men, if there is little or no vitamin A in the body, serum testosterone levels drop. If you are deficient in vitamin A, your body cannot properly metabolize dietary fat. Healthy fats provide the trace elements needed for optimal testosterone levels. Thus, vitamin A deficiency can cause a negative impact on testosterone levels. Therefore, foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy vegetables, salmon, cod liver oil should be part of your menu as they provide vitamin A.

Korean-ginseng-(Panax-Ginseng)

Korean ginseng (Panax Ginseng) 

Korean-ginseng-(Panax-Ginseng)_1_0

Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have long relied on this root to enhance vitality, and Western science supports this use. Some experts believe that Panax ginseng's libido-boosting power comes from its ability to help the body adapt to stress.&nbsp;

Korean-ginseng-(Panax-Ginseng)_1_1

Research shows that ginseng can also improve sexual performance as well as sperm count and quality, meaning it can help with infertility. Ginseng is also promising for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Korean-ginseng-(Panax-Ginseng)_1_2

In a study in which men who were clinically diagnosed with erectile dysfunction were given either 900 mg. Korean red ginseng per day, or placebo; Those who took ginseng had significantly better performance, including maintaining an erection compared to the placebo group. 3

Magnesium

Magnesium_1_0

Magnesium controls over 300 bodily functions and hundreds of enzymatic reactions. While the biological functions of magnesium are relatively broad, involving the production of nucleic acids, involvement in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and supporting muscle contraction, magnesium's most important function is to help regulate proper bone structure by mediating and coordinating calcium concentration, improving sleep quality, and boosting bioactive free testosterone. 4

Zinc

Zinc_1_0

Zinc is a powerful trace element involved in maintaining the homeostatic integrity of human body functions, including immune efficiency and human metabolism. Zinc is also a cofactor for multiple enzymes, including protein structure of DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. Undoubtedly, zinc has many advantages and plays a positive role in the human biological process and cellular function.&nbsp;

Zinc_1_1

In terms of testosterone, zinc is the main mineral of the endocrine system and plays a major role in testosterone production. According to several studies, zinc supplementation in normal adult men with minor zinc deficiency for six months resulted in an increase in serum testosterone. 5

Zinc_1_2

Sources of zinc are beef, pork, lamb or chicken, oysters, legumes and others.

Boron

Boron_1_0

Perhaps one of the most surprising and impressive trace elements and minerals that can stimulate testosterone production is boron. Boron has a vital role in cellular metabolism and supports bone growth and maintenance, wound healing, and favorably affects the use of estrogen, testosterone and vitamin D. One of the effects of boron, which also significantly affects testosterone production, is its ability to improve magnesium absorption.

Boron_1_1

Studies have shown that supplementation with boron can double testosterone production and free serum testosterone levels. Due to the rapidly new data, more research is needed on its long-term impact. 6

Maca

Maca_1_0

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has been shown to improve overall hormonal health by increasing libido, reducing fatigue, reducing cortisol, and increasing your efficiency and energy. We recommend taking&nbsp; 1500 milligrams of maca before breakfast and 1500 milligrams of maca before lunch. In studies, maca has shown a positive effect on libido, as well as an improvement in erectile dysfunction. 7&nbsp;

L-Arginine

L-Arginine_1_0

Taking a supplement containing L-arginine can help you correct your testosterone levels. Animal studies reveal that arginine may help promote healthy testosterone levels. Specifically, it can stimulate the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), which the testicles use to produce testosterone.&nbsp;

L-Arginine_1_1

Sources of L-arginine are meat, fish, whole grains, dairy products and nuts.

Many hormones contribute to our good health, and over time, their amount or action in the body decreases. That's why it's important to monitor their levels through research and provide diet with sources of important nutrients that support their synthesis. Testosterone is an indispensable hormone for men, which also contributes to women's health by supporting strength, sexual characteristics and good health at any age.

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?

What are the main symptoms of hormonal imbalance?

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?_0_0

When hormones are at balanced levels, a person feels vibrant and energetic, sleeps soundly and deeply, maintains normal weight and good concentration. However, when hormones are in imbalance, i.e. at low or elevated levels than normal,&nbsp; then we are talking about hormonal imbalance. And since these chemical messengers are interrelated, disruption in the rhythm of one hormone leads to dysregulation of other important hormones.

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?_0_1

The right balance of hormones is essential for effective reproductive cycles such as the process of ovulation in women and the overall system of conception. For men, hormones are crucial in terms of male sexual characteristics, reproductive abilities and libido.

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?_0_2

The human body uses more than fifty hormones to guide various systems and bodily functions such as growth, metabolism and temperature regulation, sleep and wakefulness cycles, and more. A hormonal imbalance is an incorrect amount of one or more hormones in the blood. The timing of hormone(s) release, interactions with other hormones, and the ability to respond through cellular receptors are also important for hormonal balance. It has been shown that an imbalance of hormones associated with reproductive health in one or both partners can make it difficult to conceive and pregnancy. Hormonal imbalances are also the leading cause of infertility in women, but they are often treatable with lifestyle changes and medications, and some phytotherapeutics can act positively.

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?_0_3

Hormonal imbalance can also cause infertility in men, but it is a less common factor of infertility in men than in women.

What-are-the-main-symptoms-of-hormonal-imbalance?_0_4

The most common symptoms of hormone imbalance in women are:

Hormone levels in the human body are constantly changing. There are hundreds of reasons why they vary daily, and to some extent these ups and downs are necessary.
