Food to Boost Testosterone ~ Dr. Eric Berg

Oysters, okay? Oysters are the food that contains the most zinc out of any foods, not just some regular old zinc.

It has bioavailable zinc and copper.

And actually, it is probably the most nutrient-dense food behind liver, okay? It's loaded with nutrition.

Just as a side note, if you are deficient in zinc, you could potentially develop something called hypogonadism.

Your gonads actually shrink because you don't have enough zinc.

And testosterone is made by the gonads.

Now, I know what someone's going to comment.

We shouldn't be consuming shellfish, especially oysters, because of the microplastics in the ocean.

One point on that, if you consume Pacific oysters, and you can even get them canned, you'll have the lowest amount of microplastics.

But so is the lack of nutrition in our diet and the lack of nutrient-dense foods.

So we have to kind of balance things out.

But oysters are literally almost at the top of the list to provide nutrient dense foods and when you're trying to build up testosterone it's not just about increasing that one hormone it's about supporting the entire endocrine system all the hormones in the right balance so this can help you at many different levels oysters are loaded with zinc copper in the right ratios tons of b12 iron vitamin d b6 omega-3 fatty acids and choline.
