For the sake of clarity, let’s focus on the two most common plants of the mint family; peppermint (Mentha spicata) and spearmint (Mentha piperita). Both are heavily used for culinary and food manufacturing purposes, though they can also be found in many soaps, shampoos, cough- relievers, lip-balms, and in toothpaste. Most herbal teas also tend to contain plants or plant extracts from the mint family… And even though mint-products tend to taste and smell pretty great, their effect on testosterone levels may not be that awesome. Much of the research about peppermint and spearmint on male testosterone levels comes from studies using male wistar rats as test subjects. In a study conducted 11 years ago, (415) 48 rats were divided into 4 groups: Group one received commercial drinking water (control). Group two received 20g/L peppermint tea. Group three got 20g/L spearmint tea. Group four got 40g/L spearmint tea. When compared to the control group, the peppermint tea at 20g/L reduced total testosterone levels by 23%, whereas the spearmint tea at 20g/L reduced total T by a whopping 51%. If you translate this into human dosages, 20g/L is the equivalent of steeping a cup of tea from 5 grams of tea leaves. A study from 2008, (416) showed that spearmint suppressed testosterone production and acted as anti-androgen in male rats. The researchers theorized that spearmint works by inducing oxidative stress in hypothalamus resulting in down-regulation of T synthesis in testicles. Another rodent study conducted in 2014, (417) found out that at 10-40mg/kg spearmint showed no significant toxic effects on the reproductive system, but still, a trend towards lowered testosterone levels was noted. What about human studies? Unfortunately, there aren’t any trials done on human males. BUT… Spearmint has been shown to significantly reduce testosterone levels in women. Much like in the case of flaxseeds (see number #1 above), spearmint has been studied on women with high androgen levels, and whom battle with the main cause of that; hirsutism (excessive facial hair growth). In this study, (418) the researchers gave 21 women subjects a cup of spearmint tea, 2 times a day, for 5 consecutive days. Surprisingly, total testosterone levels didn’t change much, but the bio-available free-testosterone levels did drop by ~30% on average. This study was replicated with 42 subjects in 2009, (419) only the duration of the trial was changed to 30 days. The results showed that free and total testosterone levels were significantly reduced over the 30 day period in the women who drank spearmint tea. Are you a woman battling with hirsutism or a male wistarian rat? Probably not, so this isn’t direct proof that similar effects would be seen in human males. However, the studies above are still quite heavy evidence towards the fact that the herbs from the mint family and mint foods reduce testosterone levels in men. #penis enlargement austin #gummy bears reviews #batammariba penis enlargement
