B6

Vitamin B6 has specific roles in inhibiting prolactin, a hormone that, when suppressed, can lead to increased dopamine levels. This mechanism is often leveraged in sports performance and wellness communities to boost testosterone indirectly. Combinations of Vitamin B6 and zinc are common ingredients in so-called "testosterone boosters" for this reason. However, it's crucial to consult with an endocrinologist for clinical conditions like hyperprolactinemia, which significantly reduces libido and requires careful medical management Andrew Huberman 1 2.

Vitamin B6 and zinc work together primarily by inhibiting prolactin, a hormone that can suppress dopamine. By reducing prolactin levels, these nutrients indirectly increase dopamine. This mechanism is often utilized in "testosterone boosters" commonly found in the wellness and sports performance communities. The increased dopamine can lead to functional effects such as enhanced motivation and potentially higher testosterone levels. However, they do not increase testosterone directly but rather exert their influence through prolactin suppression.

For more severe conditions, such as hyperprolactinemia, which greatly reduces libido, clinical management and consultation with an endocrinologist are crucial Andrew Huberman 1.

Boron is a naturally occurring element found in rich soils, particularly in the Mediterranean region, such as Greece and Turkey. It plays a role in regulating Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) levels, which influences the availability of sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the body. Although its effects are mostly acute, boron supplementation is often considered low-risk and potentially beneficial.

Dosages typically recommended range from 3 to 6 milligrams, taken once or twice a day. Some individuals might consider cycling boron to maximize its benefits while minimizing any potential downsides Andrew Huberman 1.

Boron, Vitamin B6, and Tongkat Ali

Here are some key points discussed by Andrew Huberman in the Huberman Lab regarding these supplements:

Boron

• Role: Boron helps regulate Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), impacting the availability of sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
• Dosage: Typically recommended at 3 to 6 milligrams, taken once or twice daily.
• Effects: Its benefits are generally acute, and it is often considered low-risk with potential benefits 1.

Vitamin B6

• Effect on Hormones: Vitamin B6 supports various enzymatic processes in the body, including those involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and hormone regulation. However, specific discussion involving Vitamin B6 was not found in the retrieved clips.

Tongkat Ali

• Role: Tongkat Ali can increase free testosterone and libido by reducing SHBG and increasing luteinizing hormone.
• Dosage: Recommended at 400 milligrams per day, taken early in the day as it can be slightly stimulating.
• Effects: It's noted for a subtle but significant increase in libido and related androgen parameters in both males and females. There is no need to cycle it, and its effects generally improve over time 2 3.

Combination and Usage

While there was no specific mention of using Boron, B6, and Tongkat Ali together in the retrieved clips, each has distinct roles that could potentially complement each other in hormone regulation and overall health. Always consult healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen.
