Always consult a practitioner before taking supplements that can increase testosterone levels. Don't take all of these supplements at once. Always use the recommended doses or find a brand that has a good mix of some of these top supplements already combined for use.
Always have a wellness exam, blood work and hormone levels tested before starting supplements or nutrients.

Although it's easy to think of testosterone as being a male only hormone, it is essential for women too. It supports ovulation and menstrual cycle and is an important cofactor in arousal.
