Question 1

how to increase testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

Get healthy: With diet, weight loss, exercise, avoiding opiates and anabolics. Check w/your doctor to find the cause it it does exist. Don't listen to friends, tv, radio or the internet scams. They don't work and just waste your money.

Question 2

can taking the supplement taurine in a 3 gram dose raise testosterone levels in men

Accepted Answer

Definitely maybe!: As far as I can tell, this has not been researched in humans so no one really knows. There is evidence taurine raises testosterone in rats, but that does not mean it will do so in humans; the doses used were equivalent to 15 grams/day but lower amounts may help. However, Taurine has many other proven benefits. See https://www.anabolicmen.com/taurine-testosterone/ and http://tinyurl.com/hpdlzgl

Question 3

can low testosterone level s be increased in young men of age around 20 or medicines are to be taken throughout life? will i be normal again ever?

Accepted Answer

Levels: It is important that testosterone levels be assessed on 2 separate occasions early in the morning.  Treatment will depend on those levels.  Testosterone replacement is not without its risks, with fertility being a serious concern in a young man.  A visit with a doctor familiar with trt and male fertility is recommended.

Question 4

can proscar (finasteride) raise testosterone level in men?

Accepted Answer

No: Does not alter testosterone levels.
Does lower psa levels.

Question 5

how does a man increase his testosterone level?

Accepted Answer

Vit D & Muscle: Start by supplementing vitamin d at 2000 iu daily and increasing muscle mass through weight training.  I would check my testosterone in 3 months and see iif it is improved.  To increase muscle mass, an individual needs at least 1 g protein per kilogram of lean mass - shooting for 70 g or greater daily.  If this does not improve your levels to normal, t supplementation may be needed.

Question 6

does masturbating a lot effect testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

No: People do not gain nor lose testosterone due to masturbation. That means masturbating more often will not cause a testosterone problem. Likewise, a lack of masturbation does not cause a testosterone problem.

Question 7

does masturbation lower testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

: No this does not

Question 8

what can cause low testosterone levels in men?

Accepted Answer

Think drugs: While it can be from a problem with your body's hormone levels and balance system (which should be checked out as some of these problems can be treated), common causes are obesity, alcohol and medications/drugs. An increasingly common cause are narcotic pain medications either as a prescription for chronic pain or from abuse. Best to be checked out to see which cause needs to be addressed.

Question 9

does niacin supplementation in a dose of 500 mg/day  have any impact in elevating testosterone levels in men? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Not great data: Evidence suggests higher doses of Niacin 1-3gm may lead to a growth hormone surge, but not so much testosterone.  Remember as the dose of niacin increases so do the adverse effects like flushing.  I would be very cautious about higher doses of Niacin for supplement purposes, but if your doctor feels it would benefit you from a cholesterol perspective, that's another story.

Question 10

what are typical testosterone levels in old men?

Accepted Answer

Lower than young men: I know, not the answer you wanted, but it's true. When looking at large groups of men, older men tend to have lower t levels than younger men. But there are also some older men w/higher t than some younger men & vice versa. Normal reference ranges also depend upon lab, equipment used & test ordered. Individual results vary w/time of day. More important than typical t level is how you feel.
