Best Supplements for Testosterone Support
Natural testosterone optimisation requires addressing sleep, stress, nutrition, and exercise. These supplements support the HPG axis and reduce factors that suppress natural testosterone production.
Top 5 Recommended Supplements
Tongkat Ali (LJ100)
400mgReduces SHBG (freeing bound testosterone), supports Leydig cell function, and reduces cortisol. Best studied natural testosterone support
Buy on Amazon →Zinc
30mgEssential cofactor for testosterone synthesis. Zinc-deficient men show 50% reduction in testosterone. Athletes lose zinc through sweat

600mgReduces cortisol (which directly suppresses testosterone). Studies show 14-17% testosterone increase in stressed men
Buy on Amazon →Boron

Lifestyle Tips
Sleep 7-9 hours — testosterone is produced primarily during deep sleep
Lift heavy compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses) 3-4x per week
Maintain healthy body fat (12-20%) — excess fat aromatises testosterone to oestrogen
Minimise alcohol — even moderate drinking reduces testosterone acutely
Manage stress — cortisol and testosterone have an inverse relationship
