Some examples are :

foods

testosterone in the testes

production.

– Spinach (Magnesium) This green, leafy vegetable is packed with the mineral magnesium.
Magnesium plays a vital role in muscle development and reproductive function.

Aromatase converts androgen to estrogen — Preventing free testosterone from binding to
Androgen receptors.
– Beets (organic beet juice)
