What vitamins and minerals should I be taking to insure a high level of testosterone?
I already take a multi-vitamin, and a few others, but i cant seem to find any info on neccesary materials for healthy testosterone production.
weeman- i take saw palmetto to block the DHT so im good there. I havent been diagnosed as defficient, but I wouldnt mind a bit more for the muscle growth. Ive Got all the necessary ingredients aside from that (protein, good circulation, glutamine, and a healthy daily regimne) And i wont take steroids...

First and foremost why do you want to increase your testosterone levels? is it to become more muscular? or are you clinically deficient?
I am just completing a phd on the effect of diet and exercise on testosterone levels so am well versed in this area. Testosterone is primarily synythesised in the leydig cells of the testes and as men age the production slows. it is not soley responsible for balding in men. What causes the balding is the increased converison of testosterone to DHT which targets the hair follicles.
One possible way of incresing testosterone is by doing some weight training. I am guessing you probably already do this as part of your regime. If not a moderate to high intensity weights programme has been shown to increase testosterone levels post exercise. Dietary methods of increasing your testosterone still needs research done. However there is limited research linking a high fat low fibre diet to increased testosterone production. This however is not reccomended as the health risks associated with a high fat diet such as CHD far outweigh any beneficial effects of increased testosterone production.

You’re a man, if you take care of your body (eat right, exercise) your body will naturally produce what it’s supposed to.
If you want to feel "stronger" to feel more masculine though you could try taking more iron. It’ll keep your blood cells healthy and you’ll be less likely to get sick. You’ll be stronger from the inside out.

The only way to do that is to harvest actual human testicles. I suggest you troll some gay bars.

You could have some of my testosterone. I have it by the bucket load. Sometimes wonder where it all comes from!

Don’t increase your testosterone unless it has been tested by a doctor and proves to be low. High levels lead to baldness and anger. There is a cream with testosterone at your local Healthfood store and the doctor can prescribe it if needed. Most pharmacys don’t make cream based ointments on site so you might have to check around for one that does. Here, my local Walgreens doesn’t do it but the 24 hour one does.
I am female (pic is me!) and I have hypotestosteronenemia. Thats a big word for "I ain’t got no testosterone!" Women need a small amount for muscle retention and I have none so I use a prescription cream to replace what my body doesn’t have. I have to be careful not to use too much to avoid having hair grow on my face but so far its working great because my muscle tone is coming back.
