Best testosterone supplements

When considering testosterone supplements, several options have shown varying degrees of effectiveness based on scientific discussions in the Huberman Lab podcast.

Recommended Testosterone Supplements

1. Fidojia:

   • Dosage: 600 mg for three weeks, then one week off.
   • Beneficial for individuals with low LH (luteinizing hormone) levels to potentially increase LH and testosterone levels. It's suggested for those recovering from opiate use or with low levels due to other factors 1.

2. Tongkat Ali:

   • Dosage: 200-600 mg per day.
   • Known to enhance libido and free testosterone by reducing sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Results may take weeks to manifest. This supplement can boost testosterone and may be especially effective for those starting from lower baseline levels 2 3.

3. Shilajit:

   • Effects: Minor increases in testosterone and improvements in energy and libido have been reported, but its overall efficacy is lower compared to other options. It is not prioritized in the hierarchy of testosterone supplements 4 3.

4. Tribulus Terrestris:

   • Dosage: 750 mg to 6,000 mg depending on the specific study or individual responses.
   • This supplement has shown some potential to increase free testosterone, particularly in specific populations like postmenopausal women, although effects on libido are mixed 5 6.

General Recommendations

• Consult with Healthcare Providers: It is crucial to conduct blood work and consult with a physician before starting any supplement, especially for hormone-related support. Supplements should not replace proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep, which are fundamental for hormone health 1.
• Quality Matters: Ensure supplements are sourced from reputable brands that guarantee the authenticity and content of their products. This is important as the supplement industry can have variability in quality and dosages 1.

Conclusion

For those interested in testosterone enhancement, Fidojia and Tongkat Ali are recommended as starting points, provided the individual also focuses on lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. Always take a cautious approach by consulting healthcare professionals and regularly monitoring hormonal levels through blood tests.
