NOVEMBER 6, 2012 BOOST NATURAL TESTOSTERONE ?

Mankind will never see an end of trouble until... lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power... become lovers of wisdom. ~Plato, The Republic



  As it appeared on the Internet - a rare new plant - Fenugreek to boost natural testosterone levels at www.nugenix.com  I am totally confused. THIS IS WHY !!!

Yes we do know that testosterone levels decline or decrease as we get older. Not only does libido get less, but there is gradual decrease in muscle density and strength. Also the lower the testosterone the lower the energy. There is also an important caveat. As we get older there is an increase in the activity of the aromatase enzyme which converts testosterone to the female hormones ( estrogens, progesterone and lutenizing hormone).  If youy want to boost natural testosterone you need to start with a natural aromatase inhibitor ( not chemical) as bioflavinoids especially querecitin and chyrsin. Also pomegranate seeds are another natural aromatase inhibitor.

I researched the herbal data base on Fenugreek (Trigonella sp) Most of the data is on the species
Trigonella foenum graecum. The research on this species is its use in diabetes and insulin resistance. I found NO data on boosting testosterone. I would have never questioned this before before, but when a plant is involved my radar is keen and perceptive.

The other ingredients have some energy boosting properties and useful for sperm counts ( as B vitamins and zinc). The amino acid citrulline has some 'testosteroine boosting properties, but the review discussed fenuside from the fenugreek plant. There was no data on fenuside from the American Botanical Council.

So what is a man to do to boost testosterone. Eat and exercise well. Consider natural aromatase inhibitors.
There is one remedy that is rarely discussed. As a bee keeper and herbalist the answer is found in ROYAL JELLY

It has been used for centuries for its rejuvenating properties. It does not only contain the male hormone testosterone but is a prime source of fatty acids. It also contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It is great for a number of autoimmune diseases, and useful in arthritis.  It is said to increase alertness.
For your info--it is secreted by the salivary glands of the worker bees to feed and stimulate the growth and development of new queen bees.

ROYAL JELLY IS MY CHOICE.

Until tomorrow...
