this is from archives so some abbreviations but you should be able to make out what it's saying...maybe get it checked at the doctors to detirmine how low it is if indeed it is


Testosterone Boosting Foods
• 1 – Oysters (protein, magnesium, zinc…1 serving 1/week raw, cooked or tinned)…2 – Lean Beef (protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, saturated fat…2-3/week)…3 – Beans (protein, fibre, zinc…baked, lima, haricot, kidney, tinned)…4 – Poultry (protein with little fat…4 – 5/week)…5 – Eggs (protein, CHO…3 – 4 whole eggs for breaky with olive oil or fat free cooking spray)…6 – Cottage Cheese (protein with little fat…low fat, 225g/day)…7 – Broccoli (indole – 3 – carbinol, fibre…eat as much as you can)…8 – Cabbage (indole- 3 – carbinol, fibre…as much as you can)…9 – Brussels Sprouts (indole – 3 – carbinol, fibre…as much as you can)…10 – Garlic (allicin…whole cloves)

That's very thorough, except I don't understand why the part that says increasing Test naturally, then stipulates a Test Booster in the 9th meal?

i haven't actually read it for years but it may be there of the circadian clock???...know what i mean??...where T is raised at various times of the day and at this time it may be one of those...i actually saw one the other day but can't remember the times...also it may just be for initial stages but still i'm not real sure

Yes, I have a vague understanding of Circadian Rhythms. Sleep being one of those I believe.

I can understand the use of a Test booster, but I couldn't call it natural, though I don't disagree with it being listed in that regime, I think it could potentially not be needed.

It's just a case of sleep time promoting a drop in most biological things, like Brain activity, Bloodsugar etc etc and usage of certain other uncommonly used human resources, like Muscle for energy.
