it doesn't, in fact it reduces testosterone. The fatty acids in almonds increase the level of sex binding globulin, which binds to testosterone and inhibit its function.


European Journal of Clinical Nutrition - Differential effects of walnuts vs almonds on improving metabolic and endocrine parameters in PCOS

" As SHBG binds testosterone avidly, increased SHBG can decrease the free fraction of androgens. Therefore, free androgen index was calculated. Almonds reduced free androgen index from 2.6±0.4 to 1.8±0.3, P=0.0491....Almonds decreased free androgen index through a dual mechanism, both by increasing SHBG by 16% and decreasing testosterone."

it doesn't either. Selenium and Zinc are needed for your nuts and prostate health but it doesn't increase your testosterone. It only helps if you're way below baseline, and you're infertile ( which i guess you're not).

for test the best thing is lift heavy weights, vitamin d, and sleep. :francis:. Which is why the old powerlifters used to drink gallons of milk a day (milk has other good sht in it too). If you're black, you're probably lactose intolerant so you'd have to get Vit D from other sources like fish.
