Testosterone is a sex hormone most commonly associated with males, though females produce small amounts of it too. It plays an important role in men’s health from puberty and beyond. For instance, testosterone is a key driving force in the development of the bones and muscles, deepening of the voice, hair growth and the production of sperm.
Male testosterone levels are usually highest in early adulthood. After this, they tend to slightly fall each year. If you’re one of the many men worrying about low testosterone levels, read on to find out the best ways to raise testosterone naturally.
Medically, low testosterone is known as ‘male hypogonadism’ and is defined as a condition in which the testes do not produce enough testosterone. This can have several side effects including:
A fall in testosterone levels can be down to something as simple (and unavoidable) as ageing. As men get older, their testosterone levels tend to drop year on year. This natural decline starts after the age of 30 and continues at a rate of approximately 1% throughout a man’s life. (Source)
Other known causes of male hypogonadism include (but are not limited to):
If you’re diagnosed with low testosterone levels, you may be referred by your GP to an endocrinologist for testosterone replacement therapy. But you could also try the following...
A study found that people who exercised regularly had higher testosterone levels. Weight lifting is particularly effective in raising your levels in both the short and long term.
Regular dieting and overeating can both reduce your levels, so avoid them at all costs. Instead, eat a healthy diet with a good balance of carbs, fat and protein.

Long-term stress can have all sorts of negative implications on our mental and physical health thanks to the increasing levels of the hormone cortisol.

There are also several testosterone-boosting natural supplements you could try.

We recommend taking ½ tsp of Mountainlife Pine Pollen per day. Mix it with water or juice and drink before your first meal of the day for increased gut absorption.
Alternatively, you can take Mountainlife Pine Pollen under your tongue. This will support your body in absorbing the testosterone and DHEA straight into the bloodstream for maximum effects.
