Testosterone Boosting Foods

Testosterone Boosting Foods Potatoes - carbohydrates are hugely important for healthy testosterone production. You also know that grains are not the preferred source of carbs, mainly due to problems with gluten, which can significantly increase prolactin levels, effectively messing up T production. Simple sugars are also not the preferred carbohydrate sources on a high T diet, since they have been linked to lowered testosterone levels in multiple studies. Ruling out grains and simple sugars, may make it look like you can’t eat any carbs, except for salad, but that’s not the case. You can – and should eat – potatoes! Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, russets, red potatoes, purple potatoes, etc. If it’s a potato, you should be eating it. Potatoes are excellent no-gluten source of testosterone boosting carbohydrates, and also very dense in nutrients. Stock pile your pantry full of them, and make potatoes your main carbohydrate source Macadamia Nuts - Dietary fat in general is known for its testosterone increasing effect, and nuts in general, are very high in fats. So one could easily assume that all nuts are pro-testosterone. However, that’s not the case. The kinds of fats that have been linked to increased T production are saturated fatty-acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty-acids (MUFAs). Polyunsaturated fatty-acids (PUFAs) on the other hand tend to lower testosterone levels. Most nuts are – unfortunately – loaded with PUFAs. Not macadamia nuts though. 100 grams of these wonderful little fat balls contain ~75 grams of dietary fat, out of which 60 grams are MUFAs, 13 grams are SFAs, and less than 2 grams are PUFAs. Did someone say perfect for testosterone production? 😉 Epic Bar - https://epicbar.com/buy.html - I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw that there were 100% grass-fed bison bars on the market. Not only bison, but also lamb, turkey, and beef. Why are the epic bars so epic then? Well, despite their high price point, they’re exactly the kind of protein your endocrine system craves for. Animal-based. Grass-fed. And free of antibiotic, hormone, and pesticide traces. I know for sure that my pantry is always loaded with bison bars. Or should I say testosterone bars. Either way, they’re epic. Beef Gelatin - In traditional societes, the bones and connective tissue of meat-giving animals were generously enjoyed, giving the consumer a great balance of amino-acids. In more recent cultures, we have started eating only the muscle-meat, tossing away the connective tissue, bones, and organ meat. The problem with that is the fact that we are getting too much of the amino acids tryptophan and cysteine, and too little of the amino acids proline and glycine (both of which act as crucial neurotransmitters for the body). To correct this, you could eat some bone broth and animal organs, but there’s also an easier way……Gelatin. It’s an incredibly dense source of connective-tissue protein, providing you with ~27% glycine and ~15% proline. It’s also tasteless, so you can easily scoop it straight on with a spoon. Why would gelatin be pro-testosterone then? For starters, once you balance out the neurotransmitters in your body, your sleep quality and hormonal signaling will improve, this alone will lead to significant increases in testosterone and life-quality. Coffee - Who doesn’t love a cup – or five – of strong coffee? Coffee is great. It gives you the caffeine which stimulates the nervous system and jolts you up, while also boosting cAMP levels, leading to increased testosterone production. Sure coffee can also increase cortisol levels (which is a stress-hormone notorious for lowering testosterone), but it’s crucial to understand that the cortisol boost from caffeine is very short in duration, not like the T suppressing long-term (usually stress-related) cortisol elevation. Oh, and coffee is also loaded with antioxidants. So again, there’s no need to start avoiding coffee, just don’t drink it 15 cups a day for every hour of your time awake. Brazil Nuts - Brazil nuts are shelled in a thick cone, so technically they’re seeds, but due to their nut-like taste and structure, people have always called them nuts. They do not have as good fat ratios for testosterone production as the macadamia’s do (100 grams of brazil nuts has 15g SFAs, 25g MUFAs, and 19g PUFAs), but their true testosterone boosting potential is not in the fat ratio……It’s in the ridiculously high selenium content. 100 grams of Brazil nuts contains 1917 mcg’s of selenium, which is 2739% of the RDA%! Selenium – mostly due to its glutathione stimulating effects – is directly linked to increased testosterone production, and just a handful of Brazil nuts a day is easily enough to cover your selenium needs, naturally. NOTE: Most of the selenium is in the skin of the nut, so don’t buy your Brazil nuts unshelled. Olive oil - Extra virgin olive oil can be straight on labeled as a testosterone booster. Since there’s literally a study where young Moroccan men changed extra virgin olive oil to their main source of fat, and in 2 weeks their testosterone levels increased by 17%. This could of been caused by the fact that olive oil has a pretty darn great fat ratios for T production (73% MUFAs, 14% SFAs, 13% PUFAs), or it could also be the fact that olive oil is anti-inflammatory, or that it’s ridiculously high in antioxidants. It also contains the possibly testosterone boosting bitter glycoside; oleuropein. Just make sure your olive oil is the real deal. Organic. Extra Virgin. And from a trusted brand. Many cheaper olive oils have been heated, processed, and adulterated with cheaper oils (usually high PUFA ones too). Raisins - Raisins are a great snack on a testosterone boosting diet for multiple reasons. Firstly, they’re anti-inflammatory and chock-full of antioxidants, such as resveratrol, which has been linked to increased testosterone and lowered estrogen levels in few studies. Secondly, 100 grams of raisins contain ~3 mg’s of boron, which is a not too popular mineral that has increased testosterone levels quite significantly in few scientific studies. So, it’s not a bad idea to make your own testosterone boosting snack trail mix with raisins, macadamia nuts, and brazil nuts. Parsley - Parsley is a great little plant. That’s because of a compound in it called apigening. The researcher at Texas tech found out that apigening increases the amount StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) inside the testicular leydig cells. Why is this great you might ask? Well, StaR is the binding protein that transports cholesterol into the mitochondria inside your ballsack, essentially converting it to free testosterone. So, more parsley -> more StaR -> better conversion from cholesterol to free testosterone -> more free testosterone. Bottom line: You better be consuming parsley. Ginger - Ginger is a common household spice, but it can be used to many other things than just to add flavor to foods. Ginger contains the active ingredient, gingerol, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent in the body. Not only that, but several animal studies have identified ginger as an androgenic compound while one Iraqian human study noted a 17% increase in testosterone levels after ginger supplementation. So not a common household spice alone, but also a powerful androgenic anti-inlammatory agent. And cheap as fuck. Raw Cacao - Raw cacao, cocoa, or chocolate products are nutritionally dense testosterone boosting superfoods. However, I’m not talking about the chocolate or cacao that most people identify as chocolate. Real chocolate is not heated (this destroys the antioxidants and many vitamins), it’s not processed, and it’s definitely not refined. It’s this unheated, minimally processed, and essentially RAW version of chocolate that maintains the antioxidants, live enzymes, and friendly bacteria. It’s also the RAW chocolate that is linked to increased cardiovascular health, lowered blood pressure, and lowered blood glucose levels. Not the junk on the candy shelves. But why are raw chocolate and cacao products awesome for testosterone production? First of, they’re loaded with antioxidants and jam-packed with minerals, such as: magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron, and copper……and not only that but raw cacao products have pretty much perfect fat ratios for testosterone production too. For example, out of the dietary fat in raw chocolate ~61% is saturated fats, ~37% is monounsaturated fats, and only ~2% is polyunsaturated (depending bit on the manufacturer). So, chock-full of antioxidants, live bacteria, and enzymes. Full of testosterone boosting minerals. And has perfect fat ratios for healthy testosterone production. That is, raw cacao products. Eggs - Eggs are considered as “the perfect protein”, since they contain a nearly perfect balance of amino-acids for human needs. Eggs are also highly nutritious, containing nearly all of the recognized vitamins (with the exception of vitamin C). They also have a good fatty-acid ratios for testosterone production. 38% saturated fats, 44% monounsaturated fats, and only 18% polyunsaturated fats. The most important factor that makes eggs a high-T food, is the fact that the yolk contains hefty doses of cholesterol, which like you might already know, is the direct precursor of testosterone. NOTE: I know that many people get scared about cholesterol and fats in the yolk, but there’s no need to. It has been scientifically proven that regular egg consumption on a daily basis does not negatively influence your cardiovascular health. Real Crystal, sea, or rock salt - There’s a huge difference between real crystal, sea, or rock salt, when compared to the usual “table salt”. That is, real unrefined and unaltered salts are bit clumpy and they have about 60+ trace minerals in them. The basic table salt on the other hand? It’s usually got 2. Sodium and chloride. Rest is stripped away. What more? Well, the processed table salts can have up to 3% anti-caking agents, which are often unhealthy heavy-metals like aluminum silicate or sodium ferrocyanide. This is all done because of increased profits, aka. longer shelf-life. When salt is stripped from its natural minerals, it’s no longer salt. It’s processed shit. So, would you rather consume the shitty purified table salt that has mere 2 minerals and heavy-metal caking agents, or the real deal that contains 100% real salt and 0% caking agents, with a taste that explodes in your mouth? Your call. Virgin Argan Oil - Argan oil is the oil pressed from the argan tree kernel. It’s heavily used in the Mediterranean diet. Previously in this article I mentioned a study where olive oil as main source of fat for 2 weeks, was able to increase testosterone levels by 17% in healthy young Moroccan men. Well, in that same study there was another group too. A group that used virgin argan oil as their main source of dietary fat for 2 weeks. Their testosterone levels increased by ~20%. Much like olive oil, argan oil is anti-inflammatory and has a lot of antioxidants. It also has pretty good fatty-acid ratios for T production (not as good as olive oil does though). Anyhow, there’s clinical evidence showing how it boosts testosterone by 20%, so eat it. Avocadoes - These fatty fruits are often deemed “bad” by the low-fat idiots. And this is because unlike many other fruits, 77% of the calories in avocado come from fats. If you’re a frequent reader here in AM, you already know that increased dietary fat intake is directly correlated with increased testosterone production. And not only that, but the types of fat that increase T seem to be saturated fats (SFAs) and monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), while polyunsaturated (PUFAs) actually tend to lower testosterone. In the view of the above, we can see that avocadoes are pretty great for testosterone production. Since they contain a lot of dietary fat, from which 16% is SFAs, 71% is MUFAs, and only 13% is PUFAs. Avocadoes are also loaded with fat-soluble vitamins, many of which are crucially important for healthy testosterone production. White Button Mushrooms - I used to eat these only as a pizza topping, and since they are mostly water, I was under the notion that white button mushrooms probably won’t do Jack-shit healthwise. As usual, I was wrong. White button mushrooms are loaded with polysaccharides, and in multiple studies they have been found to excert anti-estrogenic effects, since they seem to naturally block the aromataze enzyme which converts testosterone to estrogen. Similar anti-estrogenic effects have been noted with other mushroom varietes too, but white button mushrooms seem to be the strongest shroomy aromatase inhibitors identified so far. Baking Soda – Bobs Red Barn - I use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) more as a supplement than a grocery item, but since it can be bought at any supermarket, it fits perfectly to this list. Why baking soda you might ask? Well, firstly because it is a great ergogenic aid that can dramatically improve your squat and bench press performance, cellular adaptation to HIIT, and can be used to supercharge your creatine supplements. And then there’s also the fact that sodium bicarbonate tends to act as a molecular switch for the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). And increased cAMP levels – as you might already know – correlate with increased T production, since cAMP activates protein kinase A and serves as a secondary messenger between cells and hormones. It’s also about $7 per lb. Yogurt and other probiotics - As of late, there has been a lot of evidence suggesting that prebiotics, probiotics, live enzymes, and other kinds of friendly bacteria could have a positive impact on testosterone production. Few examples: In this 2014 study, a bunch of researchers tested multiple different diets with added Lactobacillus reuteri on male rodents. In every single case, the addition of L.Reuterii to the feed increased testosterone levels, increased luteinizing hormone levels, increased testicular size & weight, prevented age related testicular shrinkage, improved semen parameters, and even increased markers of social domination. Another rodent study found out that increased exposure to healthy gut microbiomes lead to elevated testosterone levels. And one even saw that the probiotic Clostridium scindens can literally convert the stress hormone cortisol into androgens inside the gut. So, how do you nourish the gut flora and colonize those healthy probiotics, prebiotics, and friendly enzymes into your intestines more effectively? Simple, by eating fermented foods, which naturally have the friendly bacteria and enzymes. Yogurt is a great example. It contains the L. Reuterii and C. Scindensis, and several other – yet unresearched – probiotic strains. Epic Grass Fed Beef Jerky - There’s just no way around the fact that grass-fed beef is the number #1 source of testosterone boosting protein. It’s high quality, not corn-fed, has awesome amino-acid balance, and even the fat in it is saturated, which is the kind of fat linked to biggest increases in testosterone production. Not to mention that grass-fed and organically grown animals are not exposed to testosterone lowering pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, or insecticides. They’re also not pumped full of estrogen, like conventional cattle often is. Beef jerky is probably one of the most healthiest foods you can carry as a “snack”. And there’s no way I would leave it out from a testosterone boosting grocery list. 😉 Organic Minced Meat - Everytime I visit my local grocery store, I leave with at least 2 kilos worth of organic minced meat. There’s a good reason for that. Minced meat is fucking awesome. Whether its beef or a mix of beef and pork or even lamb, you’re getting plenty of high quality testosterone boosting fats, along with some animal protein that your endocrine system craves for. Minced meat is almost like a staple in many testosterone boosting recipes. It’s so easy to use, tasty, and pro-testosterone. Why not load up with it? NOTE: I use organic meat since I don’t want to eat meat that has been treated with estrogen (to make the meat-giving animal fat). If you can’t afford organic/grass-fed minced meat, it’s better to buy the kind with lowest amount of fat, since that’s where the trace hormones tend to accumulate. Pomegranates - There has been some very interesting study results about pomegranates as of late. In this human study, daily pomegranate juice consumption for 2 weeks increased salivary testosterone levels by 24%, while also dropping diastolic and systolic bloodpressure. Another human study associated long-term (1-3 years) pomegranate juice consumption to -35% reduction in arterial plague. Pomegranate juice also protected LDL cholesterol from oxidizative damage, and dropped blood pressure as seen in the above study. In test-tubes, few compounds extracted from pomegranates have found to be anti-estrogenic. Blue Cheese - As you can see from the “yogurt” subheading above, fermented foods are excellent for testosterone production, since they contain the probiotics, prebiotics, friendly bacteria, and enzymes associated with increased T production. Just like in the case of yogurt, blue cheese is also filled with that friendly gut bacteria, live enzymes, and the like. On top of that, blue cheese contains hefty amounts of testosterone boosting saturated fat, and certain testosterone boosting fat-soluble vitamins, like the K2 for example. Blue cheese goes perfectly in dressings, dips, between hamburgers, etc. It’s a super simple way to add some T boosting goodness to your meals. Dark Berries – blueberries, blackberries, acai berries - Dark berries like blueberries, blackberries, acai berries, and so forth have always been identified as healthy. And why wouldn’t they be. The darker the berry, the higher the antioxidant content, and the more antioxidants you consume, the less inflammation and oxidative damage takes place in your body. The result of that should be significantly increased testosterone production and testosterone molecule preservation. Not only the antioxidants, but berries are quite low in calories, while being chock-full of nutrients. They also contain the unique fiber called Calcium-D-Glucarate, which can potentially help your body to remove excess estrogen. Organic Grass Fed Butter - Real grass-fed butter should be the staple in every testosterone boosting diet. It’s a quality source for T boosting SFAs, while also containing the fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K2, and D, all of which are linked to increased testosterone production. Just remember that it has to be real butter, and preferably from grass-fed cows. Margarines and other kinds of spread mixes are just rubbish PUFA filled inflammatory junk. Get the real deal, the same stuff your ancestors used, then use it with cooking, in coffee, as is, whatever. Your balls will thank you. Sorghum - Ever since I started seeing evidence of gluten being a potential prolactin booster and thyroid suppressant, I have been limiting my intake of grains and focusing more on potatoes as my main carbohydrate source. I’ve seen nothing but good results health-wise from limiting grain consumption, but sometimes I just yearn for some floury grains, bread and the like. I’m not completely anal about not eating grains, but since I discovered sorghum (a gluten-free androgenic grain), I have been substituting some of the more gluten heavy grains with it. I was pleasantly surprised to even stumble upon this in-vitro study where sorghum extract increased 5-alpha reductase levels by 54% (this should lead to increased DHT conversion). Coconut Oil - Look no further than the alternative medicine community, and you will see NOTHING but praises about coconut oil. And even though I don’t always agree with their ideologies, coconut oil really is kind of damn healthy. It has been shown to improve cognitive abilities, increase testosterone production, increase thyroid hormones, boost metabolic rate, and so forth. Being mostly saturated fat, it also fits well to the optimal testosterone boosting fatty-acid ratios. NOTE: Despite being high in saturated fat, coconut oil doesn’t cause any cardiovascular problems. Does anyone even believe anymore that saturated fat would be the culprit anyway? Organic Bacon - Bacon is pretty amazing. Not only does it have a heavenly taste, but it’s also packed with high quality animal protein, testosterone boosting saturated fats, and the direct precursor of testosterone: cholesterol. In my opinion, you should only eat organic bacon though. Because of the mass production, conventional pigs are fed with GMO soy and corn, and they’re living in such horrid conditions that they’re pumped full of antibiotics to ensure that the pigs won’t get any inflammatory diseases, and then they’re fed & injected with ridiculous amounts of estrogen and growth hormone to make the pigs fatter and bigger in record times. That last part is crucial. Because of the high fat content of the pig meat, the hormone residues are much more of a concern. You see, the adipose tissue (fat) is exactly where the hormone traces can be found. So, organic estrogen-trace free bacon is a great testosterone boosting food, but the conventionally raised stuff should be avoided. You’re better of using some lower fat conventional meats if you can’t afford organic bacon. Onions - Pretty much all kinds of onions are loaded with anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and antioxidants. Some of which are potentially testosterone boosting, like apigening and quercetin. It’s not a big surprise that in several rodent studies, onions have increased testosterone and produced androgenic effects. Possibly the sickest result so far comes from this study where onion juice added to male rodents feed, increased tesosterone levels by ~300% on average. Hard to say if the results are skewed or if this applies to humans at all, but it’s still quite fascinating. I have never seen any human data on the hormonal effects of onions, but there’s potential and onions can add great punch to many foods, so why not? Garlic - Despite the fact that garlic can give you a foul breath, it’s also capable of increasing your nitric oxide levels by ~200% when taken in combination with vitamin C. Making it a stupidly cheap pre-workout booster. There’s also a rat study where rodents on a high-protein diet, saw significant increases in testosterone and drops in cortisol after garlic supplementation. I have no idea what would cause this raise in testosterone after garlic consumption, but it could be caused by quercetin, anti-inflammatory effects, high amount of antioxidants, or its vasodilating effects. Whatever it is, garlic is definitely worth the money. Oysters - Oysters are a staple in many “testosterone boosting foods” lists out here on the internet. Not for nothing. They are absolutely jam-packed with zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper, and vitamin D. All of which are crucial for testosterone production. Oysters also contain high quality protein, including some of the more rare amino acids (like the possibly testosterone boosting D-aspartic acid). The legend says that the 18th century ladies man – Casanova – ate 50 oysters for breakfast. You know, maybe he was on to something. 😉 Shrimp -Casting your net for seafood like shrimp is a surefire way to boost your level of vitamin D, which has a strong link to the big T. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston found that men with higher levels of vitamin D also had higher levels of testosterone.1 These findings may help explain why a study in "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise" reported that men and women with higher blood levels of vitamin D tend to have stronger upper- and lower-body muscle strength.2 So, the upshot is that if you want to build strength and muscle like a pro, it's best not to take your vitamin D intake lightly. Unfortunately, many people have inadequate vitamin D levels during the winter gloom, which could cause your testosterone levels to take a nosedive. Get even more vitamin D: Cod liver oil, herring, salmon, sardines, mackerel, free-range eggs Pumpkin seeds -These jack-o'-lantern castoffs are a good source of zinc, a mineral that plays a role in thousands of different enzymatic reactions in the body, including those involved in testosterone production. It's no major surprise, then, that a study published in "Nutrition" found that men with inadequate zinc intake had lower testosterone concentrations. Coconut -Paleo-worthy coconut can not only help your diet taste like a tropical vacation, it can also keep your T-score at healthy levels. That's because the giant nut is a source of saturated fat, which plays a role in testosterone production. In a study published in "The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism," investigators found that healthy males who switched from their regular high-fat diet (13 percent saturated fat) to a low-fat diet (5 percent saturated fat) saw significant decreases in their testosterone levels. Wheat bran -Who would have thought that low-brow wheat bran could help jack up your T-levels? But the fiber-rich bran of the wheat kernel is an excellent source of the mineral magnesium. A study conducted by scientists in Turkey found that subjects with higher intakes of magnesium had increased testosterone swirling around Ricotta cheese -This lasagna staple is one of the best sources of whey protein in the dairy aisle, making it useful for muscle-minded guys and gals. A recent study by the white coats at the University of Connecticut discovered that subjects who supplemented with whey protein experienced lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol during recovery from lifting weights. Strawberries -These rosy berries are a leading source of vitamin C. This is good news for your fitness gains, since higher intakes of this potent antioxidant have been associated with lower testosterone-busting cortisol levels in response to hardcore workouts. Grapes - Eat a bunch of red grapes daily to give your own low-hanging fruit a boost: the skins contain resveratrol, which makes for hardier sperm. Chinese researchers found the equivalent of 500mg – roughly the amount in 5-10g of grape skins – was enough to raise testosterone levels and improve epididymal motility (your sperm’s ability to swim). Tuna - Tuna’s ‘fragrance’ may not be ideal for a first date, but its vitamin D content is. The vitamin bolsters testosterone by up to 90%, found a study at Graz Medical University, Austria, slashing levels of libido-killing chemical Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG). A can of tuna contains 100% of your RDA. Venison - Veggies look away: “A meat-free diet can lower testosterone by 14%,” says Carruthers. “Lack of protein boosts testosterone-de-activating hormones.” On the other hand, a University of Utah study found a diet overly rich in the sat fats in beef and lamb can also make testosterone dip. The middle ground is venison. Stag-gering. Honey - For extra buzz in the bedroom, dip into honey. It contains the mineral boron, linked to high testosterone. Honey is also rich in nitric oxide, says Gordon: “This is key in opening up blood vessels that create erections. Four teaspoons of honey can boost nitric oxide levels by 50%.” Milk - Proof we are supposed to have hard bodies, University of Pittsburgh researchers found that fat blokes have more estrogen. Cut the blubber by boosting your testosterone levels with milk: its amino acids boost production of anabolic hormones, which in turn build muscle and trim fat. The Department of Health recommends three 200ml glasses a day. Cabbage - King of the veg patch, cabbage is full of a chemical called indole-3-carbinol, which rids your blood of girly hormones. Healthy men took 500mg daily for a week at Rockefeller University; their estrogen levels halved, making testosterone more effective. It’s time to become more of a man at meal times. Asparagus - A known aphrodisiac, asparagus contains folic acid, potassium and vitamin E, which are all essential for healthy testosterone. Bananas - A bromelain enzyme in bananas helps boost testosterone levels. And it's a slow-release energy source too...perfect for a night of passion. Watermelon - Scientists at Texas A&M University discovered that watermelons contain an amino acid called citrulline, which is converted into arginine in the body. The result? Boosted blood flow, making this tasty fruit a natural viagra alternative. Ginseng - A 2002 study from the University Of Ulsan College Of Medicine found that Korean red ginseng helped 60 percent of patients with erectile dysfunction. Almonds - Just a handful of these nuts could boost the sex drive of both men and women, and that's because they contain plenty of zinc, a testosterone booster and libido enhancer. Porridge Oats - Oats pack a powerful punch - as well as containing zinc and L-arginine, they're also high in B vinamins, which are linked with boosting sexual performance. Citrus Fruits - As well as lowering the stress hormone cortisol, citrus fruits contain vitamin A required for testosterone production, and can also help lower estrogen levels, thus allowing the male hormone to do its work. Spinach - This leafy green is proven to lower estrogen levels, and is rich in magnesium and vitamins C and E - all essential testosterone building blocks. Wild Salmon - Aside from containing high levels of magnesium, vitamin B and Omega-3s for healthy testosterone production, researchers at Graz Medical University in Austria found that wild salmon lowers the levels of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) which renders testosterone useless. Pomegranate - A paper in the international Journal of Impotence Research reported that 47% of impotent men who drank a glass of pomegranate juice a day saw an improvement in their condition.
