Don't get me wrong, I think the superantioxidant has some tremendous benefits that we are just starting to discover. However, if you do some digging you will notice that Res has "some" estrogen-like properties. Ever consider quercetin for your mitocondria needs...Lance Armstrong swears by it...and lord knows he needs some help down there.

Nobody has mentioned eating Coconut Oil for its healthy fats! I would imagine cholesterol is very important to the diet since cholesterol is needed to make the various hormones.

What kinds of legal supplements could I take to increase levels in a safe and healthy way? Great, but what if you’re doing all that and you still need to increase your testosterone levels?

I have tried tribex and haven't noticed antythng. Resveratrol seems to work. The guy at the gym told me that his testosterone was low, so he took resveratrol for like 3 months, did the test again, and it was normal. So he swears by this stuff now and claims that it has increased his testosterone levels big time. Can it really do that? Thanks!

Drinking milk three times a day and doing squats alone would increase testosterone levels, but at a minimum level. I suggest following this guide if you want to increase your testosterone levels to its maximum.

I am serious, I remember reading a book about how to gain muscle in like 30 days and it claimed that you can increase your testosterone levels and your muscle mass if you drink organic, unprocessed milk and do barbell squats and nothing else.

Just like the contraction of muscle fibers, anabolic reactions require ATP. From gene transcription through translation, modification and assembly, all these processes of building proteins (i.e. muscle) require energy. Well, after a workout, the whole point of a whey protein shake is to get those amino acid buiding blocks (required for protein translation) into the muscle cells to jump start the anabolic process. This all requires ATP from the transport of amino acids into the cell to their utilization, and since there's depleted ATP in the muscle and its generation is presumably reliant on dwindling glycogen stores, the body wants to continue to remain catabolic and conserve energy. A quick glucose spike through either the breakdown of table sugar (sucrose) or fruit sugar (fructose) would signal to the cell, possibly through insulin, that everything is "ok" and the cells have an adequate supply of ATP generation which is temporarily guaranteed through glycolysis and TCA cycle breakdown of these sugars. Anyway, I'm a scientist of a different sort, but know some things about this kinda stuff. Not sure if its right, but just thought I'd theorize.

They say it is to rebuild gylcogen stores but your metabolism takes 12hrs to turn carbs into glycogen. You'd be better off with a whole wheat sandwich then a 1/3 of a cup of sugar....
