Foods That Boost Testosterone

There are plenty of foods that won’t kill men’s T levels; some may even give them a much-needed boost. Then there are foods on the bubble, ones we hear may be bad for our hormones, but we’re not sure yet. We’ve already addressed a few of these, including soy and mint. Let’s tackle a few more and see if we can bust the myths that surround them. Add these to your plate, along with these other foods that every man who wants to maximize his health should be eating.

Do bananas lower testosterone?

Nope, they raise it. We’re not sure why bananas get this “bad for your testosterone” vibe. They may not be protein- or healthy fat-dense enough to warrant being their own meal, but they don’t kill your sex drive or break down your muscle mass. Quite the opposite. Bananas’ chief nutrient, potassium (23), actually promotes testosterone production and firmer erections. The fruit also contains bromelain (24), a slow-releasing enzyme that can increase your libido; tryptophan,(25) which boosts the secretion of serotonin, a hormone that can improve your mood, brain function, and sex drive; and vitamin C (26), which helps keep cortisol, aka the “stress hormone,” at bay. And researchers say to let ’em ripen (27) if you want bananas’ nutrient levels to rise.

Does rice lower testosterone?

This is a tough one to answer because it depends on the kind of rice you’re eating. All rice starts out as a whole grain, but when these carbs become refined, more than half of their nutritional value is lost in the process. White rice is a great example, in that the body digests it quickly, prompting an all-too-fast release of sugar. And we all know what sugar can do to your hormones. There are rice varieties that provide healthier alternatives for you and your testosterone. Studies show that the antioxidant production in cooked wild rice (28) is 30 times greater than that found in white rice. Meanwhile, brown rice is your grain of choice for bone development and muscle contraction (29), since it provides six times more manganese than its wild counterpart. Rice isn’t the only grain that’s good for you—check out which grains are healthiest.

Again, nope. While multiple studies of caffeine intake show several adverse effects, including heartburn or digestive problems, an increase in blood pressure, headaches, and anxiety, lowering testosterone is not among them. One 2012 study documented no significant differences in hormone levels after eight weeks. It did uncover, however, that consumption of caffeinated coffee actually increased total testosterone (30) in the study’s male subjects, and decreased their total and free estradiol. A 2018 study (31) was also unable to determine any effects that caffeine intake had on men’s T levels. Until conclusive evidence points to the contrary, feel free to enjoy that cup of Joe. (Just try to keep it to one or two cups a day.)

Do egg yolks lower testosterone?

Not only are they a great source of protein, omega-3s, and Vitamin D, egg yolks contain cholesterol. According to a 2021 study (32), cholesterol can raise testosterone levels (check with your doctor before adding extra cholesterol to your diet if you have high cholesterol). Bonus: the protein in eggs also helps with muscle building.

Do oysters lower testosterone?

Another no. Research shows that zinc deficiencies can lower testosterone (33) and oysters are high in the important mineral, so eating more of the purported aphrodesiac can help keep testosterone levels balanced. Other types of shellfish contain less zinc than oysters but are still good sources of the mineral.
