I am glad to welcome you again on our website, today the third article from the series on how to increase testosterone for a man? In this article, we will analyze in details the drugs and supplements that contribute and help to increase the main male hormone – testosterone.

I also recommend you to read three separate articles from the same series: basic ways to increase testosterone, food to increase testosterone and how to increase testosterone: hormones. So, let’s get started.

L-arginine to increase testosterone and potency

L-arginine is a non-essential amino acid that is a nitrogen donor in our body. This amino acid is widely used in medicine and sports (mainly in fitness and bodybuilding). L-arginine improves muscle nutrition, increases pumping and vascularity, which is why it is so popular with bodybuilders. How is it connected to testosterone and potency increase,  you can ask for?

Since l-arginine is a nitrogen donor, it increases blood circulation throughout the body, and not just in your biceps or triceps. When taking l-arginine, blood flow increases, including in the pelvic organs. This allows l-arginine to increase potency, as well as maintain an erection longer and stronger.

L-arginine is found in large quantities in meat (pork and chicken), fish, eggs and nuts. Therefore, men should eat a lot of these products. In addition, there are also sports supplements in which l-arginine is presented already in finished form, in the form of powder, tablets or capsules.

In order to increase potency and testosterone, men are advised to take an additional 5 to 10 grams of l-arginine daily. Duration of intake is not limited.

L-citrulline to increase testosterone and potency

L-citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that is a nitrogen donor in our body. Citrulline is similar in its positive effects to l-arginine, these amino acids are synergists. L-citrulline, as well as l-arginine, improves muscle nutrition, increases pumping and venousness.

Relatively to increasing potency, l-citrulline is also able to improve and increase blood circulation throughout the body, including in the pelvic organs. This allows to keep your erection longer and stronger.

L-citrulline is still a better choice than l-arginine, although it costs a bit more. It has been proven that L-citrulline is absorbed in the intestines better than l-arginine. In addition, l-citrulline raises blood levels of arginine more strongly after breakdown.

Yohimbine to increase testosterone and potency

Yohimbine is an alkaloid with a stimulating effect, an aphrodisiac. Yohimbine is an alpha-blocker. In fitness and bodybuilding, yohimbine is a regular component of almost any fat-burning complex. This drug received particular popularity in conjunction with clenbuterol.

But not only fat-burning effect yohimbine has. It was originally invented and is used to this day to treat erectile dysfunction. As you know, yohimbine increases blood flow throughout our body. This increases blood flow to the pelvic organs, including the reproductive organs.

And yohimbine disinhibits the spinal erection centers and thereby improves the blood supply to the tissues of the penis. Due to these positive effects, yohimbine is used not only for fat burning purposes, but also to combat sluggish erections and low libido.

Viagra to increase testosterone and potency

Viagra is the most popular remedy for a rapid increase in potency. The main active ingredient in Viagra is sildenafil, the effect of Viagra on the body is based on vasodilation. Viagra helps eliminate erectile dysfunction, increase libido and achieve a stable and long erection.

In addition, after arousal, the body produces a large amount of nitric oxide. Viagra also inhibits the activity of enzymes that destroy this nitric oxide. Due to this, increased blood circulation throughout the body, including the penis, is maintained for a long time.

Viagra is recommended to be taken 30 minutes before sex. An effective dosage for men is 20 to 50 mg of sildenafil at a time. For faster action, it is recommended to take Viagra on an empty stomach. It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking Viagra.

Cialis to increase testosterone and potency

Cialis is a remedy of a new generation to quickly increase the potency. The main active ingredient in Cialis is Tadalafil, and the effect of Cialis on the body is based on vasodilation too. Unlike Viagra, Cialis has a longer effect on the body. The effect of taking Cialis can last up to 36 hours.

Cialis effectively helps to eliminate erectile dysfunction, increases sexual desire, and also helps to maintain a long and lasting erection. After taking Cialis, blood circulation in the pelvic organs increases and the outflow of blood from this area decreases. The blood vessels of the penis expand more strongly and fill with blood, which makes it possible to achieve an erection even in the worst cases.

In addition, like Viagra, Cialis inhibits the activity of enzymes that destroy nitric oxide, which is formed in large quantities after arousal. This allows you to prolong the erection for a long time and keep the penis in an excited state.

Due to a longer period of action and to achieve all the advantages of Cialis, the drug can be taken not only before sex, but in general on an ongoing basis. How to do it and what other advantages it has are discussed in detail in the article on Viagra and Cialis.

Tribulus to increase testosterone and potency

Tribulus (tribulus terrestris) is a herb that is used to increase testosterone. Of course, not the plant itself, but a food extract that is obtained from tribulus through chemical reactions. The benefits of tribulus have been known since ancient Greece. Athletes used it for preparation and before the Olympics. At the moment, tribulus terrestris is widely used in fitness and bodybuilding and is used to increase testosterone and gain muscle mass.

Tribulus works by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. This hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the natural production of testosterone in the body. There are studies that show that tribulus is able to raise testosterone levels by 30-50% within the normal range for a man. In other words, if your testosterone is low, then surely tribulus will help restore it to normal averages and allow you to keep it elevated.

Another positive effect of tribulus is that it contains substances that inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase type A in the brain. As a result, the concentration of certain mediators increases, which leads to an increase in libido, potency and mood.

It is also worth noting that some athletes use tribulus during what is known as post cycle therapy (PCT). You can do this, but you need to use tribulus only as an addition to the main component of PCT which is antiestrogen.

How to take tribulus to increase testosterone

Tribulus terrestris comes in various concentrations. Most often, the drug is presented on the sports nutrition market with 45% or 90% of furostanol saponins (in other words, this is the concentration of the active ingredient).

So the daily dosage of tribulus is determined precisely in terms of these saponins. The average recommended dosage for men is 750 – 1000 mg of tribulus in terms of furostanol saponins. The entire dosage can be taken as a single dose, at any time of the day.

Tribulus is recommended to be used in cycles of 4 weeks, after which a break is taken. Since when taking tribulus increases testosterone, which can lead to an increase of estradiol in the blood, you should also monitor the level of estrogen in the blood.

Zinc to increase testosterone and potency

Zinc is an essential microelement (mineral) of the male body. This mineral takes an active part in almost all processes and systems of our body. However, its most important benefit for men is that it is involved in maintaining the normal functioning of the endocrine (reproductive) system.

Zinc is involved in the production of the main male hormone which is testosterone. For boys, zinc ensures normal growth, development and puberty. For men, zinc normalizes the work of the gonads, enhances the production of sex hormones, increases the activity of spermatozoa and prevents the development of prostate adenoma. Therefore, men are advised to take zinc on an ongoing basis to increase testosterone and potency.

For the average man, the recommended dosage of zinc is 15 to 20 mg per day. If a man is actively involved in sports, then the recommended dosage should be increased, up to 50 mg per day.

Vitamin E to increase testosterone and potency

Vitamin E is the most important vitamin in the male body. The effect of the vitamin on the body of a man is to strengthen and maintain the normal functioning of the cardiovascular and reproductive systems. From the point of view of the cardiovascular system, vitamin E strengthens the walls of blood vessels, prevents the appearance of cholesterol plaques, promotes the resorption of blood clots and improves blood circulation throughout the body, including in the pelvic organs. And this, in turn, has a positive effect on the work of the reproductive system.

Relatively to the reproductive system, vitamin E normalizes its work, protects testosterone molecules and restores the hormonal background of a man. This vitamin is often prescribed by doctors in the treatment of infertility for men. Vitamin E is able to increase the number of viable sperm. Based on these advantages, any man is recommended to take vitamin E on an ongoing basis to increase testosterone and potency.

For the average man, the recommended dosage of vitamin E is 100 mg per day. If a man is actively involved in sports, then the recommended dosage should be increased, up to 300 mg per day.
