The aim of a good diet especially for this stage of life should be to naturally compensate for any drop in testosterone that may occur and to counteract the resulting changes.

The following nutrients can have a positive effect on testosterone levels and the associated libido, as well as promoting muscle building:

L-taurine and L-arginine: L-taurine is an amino sulphonic acid, while L-arginine is an amino acid. Although both can be produced by the human body, they are also absorbed through food. L-arginine is found in foods such as meat, nuts and legumes. Pumpkin seeds are particularly rich in this nutrient. L-taurine is found in scallops, shrimps, salmon, cow’s milk and turkey, among others. Together with ginkgo biloba leaf extract, the combination of L-arginine and L-taurine can also promote physical and mental fitness by helping to maintain normal blood circulation.

Ginkgo biloba: This tree species, which traditionally comes from China, can promote circulation throughout the body by supporting blood flow.

Saw palmetto: The extract of the saw palmetto, a bush palm with fan-shaped leaves, contains valuable oils, polysaccharides as well as phytosterols, flavonoids and carotenoids (secondary plant substances). The extract has been used in naturopathy for centuries.

Lignans: Derived from the Latin term for wood (lignum), refers to a special class of antioxidants, polyphenols and isoflavones that are structurally similar to sex hormones. They can help maintain hormonal balance.

Tribulus terrestris contains certain vital substances, also called secondary plant substances or saponins. Saponins (a word derived from sapo, the Latin word for soap) are water-soluble natural glycosidic substances present in certain plants. It has been known for 20 years that tribulus extracts support LH release and thus influence testosterone levels.

Piperine is found in black pepper and can increase the bioavailability of various micronutrients.

In addition, other vitamins and micronutrients are of great importance in this stage of a man’s life and should therefore be taken in more through the diet.
