Salmon and strawberries have high levels of zinc that raises testosterone levels as does the Vitamin E in asparagus and the Vitamin A that’s abundant in spinach and red peppers.
Mushrooms inhibit estrogen production and enzymes that promote testosterone conversion making sure that testosterone levels remain high.
