Edit I am 18, lean athletic physique, working out for 3 years with bodyweight. I want to increase my testosterone levels, should I opt for supplements of ashwagandha, shilajit and safe musli? If not then how can I increase my testosterone and if I should opt for it, should the supplements be taken for a long term or for a short term (say 3 months)? Thanks in advance.

Hello- with age, usually after the age of 30, the amount of testosterone in the body declines. Other causes of low testosterone levels include an injury or infection, diabetes, chronic liver or kidney disease, chemotherapy or radiation treatments, genetic abnormalities, hemochromatosis (iron overload), pituitary gland dysfunction, inflammatory diseases that impact the pituitary gland, stress, alcoholism and obesity and certain medications. It is also associated with certain nutritional deficiencies. A low testosterone level can affect both your quality of life and your health. It can cause fatigue, erectile dysfunction, depression and other emotional issues, insomnia, poor concentration, decreased bone density, and increase in body fat. To find out their testosterone levels, men can opt for a blood test. In case the test shows low testosterone level and you experience the signs and symptoms for the same, don't worry. Ayurvedic aphrodisiac herbs and some simple lifestyle and dietary changes can help boost your testosterone level naturally.
