Isn’t testosterone for men?

While most of the published testosterone literature studied men, the physiologic functions may be correlated to women. Furthermore, testosterone-specific research in women suggests that healthy testosterone levels improve endothelial function and bone mineral density. Therefore, maintaining a healthy testosterone balance is essential in women.

In addition, research suggests that testosterone and cortisol have an inverse relationship. In other words, when cortisol is elevated, testosterone levels decrease, likely secondary to decreased hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) signaling.

What are the main ingredients of Biote Her-T?

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B)

Research suggests that vitamin B supports healthy testosterone levels by regulating cortisol and prolactin levels. Both prolactin and cortisol can decrease testosterone production. It has been proposed that vitamin B significantly lowers prolactin levels, thereby reducing prolactin’s inhibitory effects on testosterone synthesis. Additionally, studies indicate that vitamin B may help modulate elevated cortisol levels by inhibiting glucocorticoid receptors. This action can decrease cortisol receptor binding and mitigate its negative effects on testosterone production.

Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D)

Vitamin D is essential for women’s health. It plays a key role in calcium absorption, which helps build and maintain strong bones. Adequate vitamin D levels can reduce the risk of fractures after menopause, support muscle strength and balance, and enhance immune function throughout the year. Additionally, sufficient vitamin D is associated with a healthier mood, better cognitive function, improved insulin sensitivity, and favorable pregnancy outcomes, ranging from fetal skeletal development to maternal bone health.

Vitamin D also contributes to cardiovascular health and pelvic-floor muscle function and may help alleviate PMS and inflammatory symptoms. Since deficiency is common—especially among those who spend a lot of time indoors, have darker skin tones, live at higher latitudes, or use sunscreen—it’s important to ensure consistent intake through food, sensible sun exposure, or supplements. To maximize its benefits, take vitamin D3 with a meal containing fat, and consider pairing it with vitamin K2 and magnesium for enhanced calcium utilization.

Zinc (Zn)

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in immune modulation as well as in the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and production of testosterone. A deficiency in zinc can impair both LH synthesis and testosterone production. Additionally, zinc deficiency may lead to an increased expression of estrogen receptors. In studies, supplementation with 30 mg of zinc per day in men with marginal zinc deficiency has nearly doubled total testosterone levels. Furthermore, zinc inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into its more potent form, 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This inhibitory effect may be enhanced by vitamin B6.

Luteolin

Luteolin, a flavone chemical class phytochemical isolate, is found in terrestrial plant families, including Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Lamiaceae. Luteolin is involved in optimizing testosterone levels via multiple mechanisms.

Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG)

The lignan phytochemical known as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) has been shown to inhibit aromatase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into estradiol, which leads to lower testosterone levels. Research indicates that enterolactone, the primary metabolite of SDG, acts as a potent inhibitor of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This inhibition helps maintain testosterone levels by preventing its conversion into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Studies have demonstrated that SDG, particularly in high concentrations, can reduce cortisol levels in response to mental stress. In one in vivo study, high doses of SDG completely eliminated the cortisol increase triggered by stress.

Cortisol and testosterone have an inverse relationship; as cortisol levels rise, testosterone production tends to decrease. Therefore, supporting healthy cortisol levels can help maintain a balanced testosterone level. Additionally, lignan phytochemicals, including SDG, function as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). In men, this activity supports the health of hormone-sensitive prostate tissue.

Gingerols/6-Gingerol

Gingerols, a class of phytochemicals that includes the isolate 6-gingerol, are compounds extracted from the root of plants in the Zingiberaceae family. These compounds are known for their bioactive properties, acting as anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants. A recent scientific review indicated that supplementation with Zingiber officinale root concentrate—especially in individuals experiencing accelerated oxidative stress—can enhance testosterone production by increasing the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH).

Specifically, 6-gingerol can help modulate testosterone levels by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. It works by upregulating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), which is the primary regulator of the body’s antioxidant enzyme production. Additionally, 6-gingerol inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme linked to inflammation that tends to rise with age and negatively affects testosterone production.

Moreover, 6-gingerol significantly boosts the production of nitric oxide (NO), which in turn stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cGMP). This process enhances blood flow and promotes vasodilation, potentially stimulating testosterone production further.

Spermidine

Spermidine is a type of polyamine, a natural substance produced by every living cell, whether in plants or animals. It is the most abundant polyamine essential for life. However, its levels decrease with age. A high dietary intake of spermidine and related polyamines has been linked to improved health and longevity, making spermidine a candidate for a “true anti-aging” molecule. Its effects are similar to those of caloric restriction, which is a well-established method for promoting longevity.

Importantly, testosterone plays a role in increasing spermidine synthesis, and lower testosterone levels are associated with decreased spermidine levels. Research has shown that spermidine supplementation can increase testosterone levels in men by approximately 50%, while also reducing cortisol levels by a similar margin.
