    Finally, something that lowers the risk associated with synthetic progestins. Progestins are progesterone pretenders that increase breast cancer. Apigenin, a component of bioflavonoid, was shown to inhibit growth and intact cause cell death.

  • Approximately 95% to 98% of testosterone is bound to a carrier protein at any given time, leaving just the remaining 2% to 5% as completely unbound and available for tissues to use
  • most serum laboratories offer a free testosterone level, which is a calculated value based on SHBG levels or determined with equilibrium dialysis
  • the hormone enters the salivary gland by passive diffusion

  • Testosterone has a known age-related decline, and total levels typically drop by approximately 1.6% per year beginning for most men in their 30s
  • As estrogen levels rise, they prompt the body to produce more SHBG, which in turn has a higher binding affinity for testosterone, and drives the unbound fraction of the testosterone pool down even further
  • When the increase in SHBG is taken into account, the age-related decline in the level of hormone that can be used by the body is closer to 2% to 3% per year.
  • Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), an herb commonly used for allergies, can also be employed to bind to SHBG, which leaves more testosterone available to tissues
  • Leptin, an adipose-derived peptide hormone that regulates appetite and metabolism, has been shown to directly inhibit testosterone production in animal models
  • tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) further inhibit Leydig cell testosterone production
  • Natural aromatase inhibitors include the bioflavonoids chrysin and luteolin
  • Zinc deficiency causes an upregulation of the aromatase enzyme
  • Testosterone reduces lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity
  • there are several herbs that can work to boost testosterone levels, including longjack (Eurycoma longifolia), horny goat weed (Epimedium grandiflorum), and tribulus (Tribulus terrestris).
  • the majority of the hormone is bound to carrier proteins including sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin
