Dealing With Low Testosterone? You Might Give These Supplements a Try - Yahoo Lifestyle

Men and women both need testosterone to stay healthy (men need more), but unfortunately, average testosterone levels are declining.

But, if you’re averse to seeing a doctor and also confident your symptoms stem from a decline in your body’s natural testosterone production, taking a testosterone supplement could help.

Though the science is thin on over-the-counter supplements that claim to boost testosterone, the anecdotal evidence of their efficacy is stronger.

The Genius Test Smart Testosterone Booster for Men sets itself apart by explicitly denying what it will not do (and for what it’s worth, what no testosterone booster or supplement can do).

BEST D-ASPARTIC ACID SUPPLEMENT.

For a testosterone supplement based around D-aspartic acid, we like the BulkSupplements D-Aspartic Acid Powder Supplement.

At the same time, it’s hard to judge because this supplement also contains D-aspartic acid, which does support testosterone production.

Finally, the part where we can give you the best advice to actually boost your testosterone: You need to exercise.

(Seriously, if you could put the effects of exercise in a pill, people would call it magic.) So if you decide you must try out testosterone supplements, at least pick up a pair of Brooks Men’s Adrenaline GTS 21 running sneakers — SPY’s favorite running shoes — and go for a run.

For the second-best piece of advice to improve your testosterone, you need to sleep better!
