Cocoa products for a testosterone boost

Cocoa products for a testosterone boost

07 Nov 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

Cocoa products such as cocoa powder and cacao nibs are high in magnesium and flavonoid antioxidants, both of which are important for testosterone. Flavonoids are plant compounds that have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in your body. Studies suggest that certain flavonoids, including cocoa flavonoids such as quercetin and apigenin, may help increase testosterone production from cells in the testicles called Leydig cells. These cells are responsible for 95% of total testosterone production in men.
Pro Tip: When you shop for cocoa products, you may want to choose ones that contain no added sugar or only small amounts of added sugar. Consider cocoa powder, cacao nibs, or low sugar dark chocolate for their impressive health benefits.
