garlic and increasing testosterone levels

[Buff Gyal]

i just stumbled onto the research article on ironmag.com, in reference to garlic consumption having an anabolic effect.

now my question is, does this also apply to females?

also, the article mentioned that it's effects only occur with high consumption for protein. which is fine because anyone who's a bodybuilder should be consuming high amounts of protein. what i am looking for help with, is how much garlic powder to use that would produce such a increase in testosterone?

if this research isn't valid for females, then disregard the other questions. thanks.

What was the mechanism, buffgyal? If it lowered SHBG, it might.

Are you, or have you ever been, on the pill?

it didn't say, as they aren't sure exactly why it would do that.

but here's the link: The Anabolic Effect of Garlic

and when you ask about the pill, what exactly are you talking about? a bit confused on that.

Oral contraceptives.

BTW the study was funded by a company that manufactures garlic supplements.

oh wow. awesome. i guess there's nothing behind the garlic thing. thanks.

i was just seeing if there was any natural product to boost the test levels i have.

thanks again!

You could look at divanil - it works by freeing up your available test - it lowers SHBG.
