Ayurvedic Gains: Powering Up Testosterone, Naturally
Testosterone. It’s not just for gym selfies or showing off biceps. This essential hormone supports energy, mood, muscle strength and overall vitality in both men and women.
While many people chase quick fixes or mystery pills, Ayurveda offers a thoughtful, steady approach. It focuses on supporting the body’s natural rhythms and balance, helping you feel your best from the inside out.
Here, we explore three Ayurvedic herbs trusted for centuries to help maintain healthy testosterone levels: Fenugreek, Shilajit and Ashwagandha.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) has been valued in both cooking and traditional wellness practices for centuries. Traditionally used to support digestion, boost libido and promote vitality, it is known for its broad health benefits.
Modern research supports these traditional uses. Fenugreek contains compounds called furostanolic saponins, which help support the body’s natural testosterone production. One study found that healthy men taking standardised Fenugreek extract showed improvements in strength, reduced body fat and increased testosterone levels [1]. Another study highlighted benefits for exercise performance and sexual health [2].
As an added bonus, Fenugreek can also help support healthy blood sugar levels and digestion.
Shilajit
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin formed over centuries in the Himalayan mountains. In Ayurveda, it is known as the “conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness.”
Traditionally used to support stamina, energy, resilience and healthy ageing, Shilajit is also valued for nourishing the reproductive system.
Scientific research supports these traditional uses. In a 90-day study, purified Shilajit significantly increased total and free testosterone levels in healthy men. Participants also reported higher energy levels and improved physical performance [3].
Shilajit is rich in fulvic acid and minerals, making it a potent adaptogen that helps the body manage physical and mental stress.
AYURVEDIQ’s vegan-friendly Shilajit capsules combine Shilajit with Ashwagandha for additional support, using high-quality ingredients to help balance hormones, support energy and promote overall wellbeing.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of Ayurveda’s most respected adaptogens. It helps the body manage stress and restore balance when life gets demanding.
Traditionally used to build strength and vitality, Ashwagandha has also been recommended for supporting reproductive health.
Modern studies confirm these traditional uses. Research has shown that Ashwagandha can increase testosterone levels, especially in men experiencing stress-related hormonal dips. One study found a 14.7 percent rise in testosterone after eight weeks of supplementation [4]. Another trial showed significant increases in testosterone levels and improvements in muscle strength and recovery [5].
Beyond testosterone support, Ashwagandha promotes a sense of calm, mental clarity and better sleep. Our Organic Ashwagandha with Black Pepper is designed to improve absorption and maximise these benefits naturally.
