Male hormone supplements

Male hormone supplements

People don’t have to worry about reduced sexual function when they are young and middle-aged, but what should they do if they want to enhance their sexual function once they get older? The secretion of testosterone in the body decreases, and exogenous testosterone supplementation seems to improve sexual ability both in theory and from actual survey results. Then we can think that supplementing male hormones is a feasible way to enhance sexual ability. Now that this method is feasible, let's see how to do it.

Drugs that increase male hormones:

Long-acting androgen drugs include testosterone, testosterone propionate, and sildenafil. Methyltestosterone is stable and can be taken orally. Androgen drugs are prescription drugs and are sold in pharmacies, but they require a doctor's prescription when purchased.

The following are commonly used.

1. Testosterone propionate: 50-100 mg each time, intramuscular injection once a day.

2. Hydroxymethylandrostenone: 1-3 mg/kg/day. It is a newly synthesized testosterone preparation with high efficacy and few side effects. It is effective for those who have not responded to testosterone propionate.

3. Testosterone enanthate: 4-7 mg/kg/week.

4. Dianabol or 17-dehydromethyltestosterone: 5-10 mg each time, 3 times a day, orally.

5. Stanozolol: 2-4 mg each time, 3 times a day, orally.

Others such as methyltestosterone and nandrolone phenylpropionate can also be used, but are not commonly used.

Common side effects of male hormones include: masculinization, among which testosterone propionate is particularly prominent, manifested as acne, increased hair growth, increased sexual desire in men, hoarseness in women, clitoral hypertrophy, reduced breast size, and amenorrhea. Liver damage is prone to occur, but it is also easy to recover after discontinuation of the drug. Pay attention to rechecking liver function during use. Sometimes there are edema, gastrocnemius spasms and insomnia. Children are prone to penile erection and bone maturation is accelerated, so it must be used together with corticosteroids.

What foods can supplement male hormones?

(1) Animal offal: Contains more cholesterol, which is an important component of synthesizing sex hormones. In addition, it also contains adrenaline and sex hormones, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonia. Therefore, eating animal hearts, livers, kidneys, intestines and other internal organs in moderation can help increase the level of androgen in the body, increase semen secretion, and improve sexual function.

(2) Zinc-containing foods: Zinc is an indispensable trace element for the human body. It plays an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of the male reproductive system. Zinc deficiency can reduce sperm count, affect sexual desire and cause sexual dysfunction. Research results in recent years have shown that zinc deficiency is related to what Chinese medicine calls "kidney yang deficiency". The food with the highest zinc content is oyster meat. Other foods such as beef, milk, chicken, chicken liver, egg yolk, shellfish, peanuts, cereals, beans, potatoes, vegetables, and brown sugar all contain a certain amount of zinc.

(3) Foods containing arginine: Arginine is an essential component for sperm formation. Eating foods rich in arginine regularly can help nourish the kidneys and improve sperm quality. This type of food is slimy and includes eel, catfish, loach, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, silkworm pupae, chicken, frozen tofu, seaweed, peas, etc.

(4) Calcium-containing foods: Calcium ions can stimulate sperm maturation. Foods rich in calcium include dried shrimps, salted eggs, egg yolks, dairy products, soybeans, kelp, sesame paste, etc.

(5) Foods rich in vitamins: Vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C all help delay aging and prevent sexual dysfunction. They are mostly found in fresh vegetables and fruits.
