Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating the common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure, cholesterol, natural antibiotic, etc.
Garlic may be the next generation of natural testosterone reducers or inducers? A high level of testosterone may alter the balance between ROS production and antioxidant defenses that induce testicular antioxidants and free radicals, including glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT), and ameliorate the reduction in testosterone levels.
Dr. Prasad S led the research at the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre, diallyl sulfide (DAS), a constituent of garlic, exerted antioxidant activities against testosterone-induced oxidative stress in male Swiss albino mice, by significantly restoring the testosterone-induced antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation.
The effects of garlic supplementation on protein metabolism also suggested that dietary supplementation with 0.8 g/100 g garlic alters hormones associated with protein anabolism by increasing testicular testosterone and decreasing plasma corticosterone in rats fed a high-protein diet.
Overproduction of testosterone may associate with an increase in the risk of prostate cancer, caused by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants.
According to the Tunis El Manar University, the intake of garlic impacted the male reproductive system by the increased number of tubules deprived of spermatozoa. In addition, garlic fractions induced apoptosis of testicular gem cells.
In fact, like all-natural phytochemicals, garlic is both a testosterone booster and testosterone reducer, depending on the levels of testosterone in the body and the amount of garlic intake.
Conflicting results have been found between total testosterone and subsequent prostate cancer, probably due to conflicting study designs, definitions, and methodologies. Therefore, the use of garlic in increasing sexual desire should be taken with care.
