what supplements are recommended to increase estrogen and testosterone

The supplements discussed differ: some mainly support normal hormone production, while others may increase or shift specific hormones. None should be assumed to be right for everyone.

• Vitamin D3, zinc, and magnesium: Adequate levels support normal production of both estrogen and testosterone; the discussion emphasizes correcting deficiencies rather than expecting these nutrients to push hormones above normal. 1
• Fadogia agrestis: Described as potentially increasing luteinizing hormone, which can raise both testosterone and estrogen. Its side-effect profile is unclear, and it may not selectively raise just one hormone. 2
• Shilajit: Presented as broad hormone support that may promote fertility and increase estrogen and testosterone, rather than targeting only one. 3
• Tongkat ali: May increase free testosterone, but it can also act as a mild anti-estrogen; it is therefore not a straightforward choice for raising estrogen. 4
• Pueraria mirifica: Mentioned in studies for easing menopause symptoms, with effects compared to estrogen replacement therapy—not as a general-purpose hormone booster. Huberman urged caution and discussion with a doctor. 5

Hormone-modulating supplements warrant caution: the discussion recommends medical guidance and blood testing to check levels and effects, rather than treating “more” as automatically better. 6
