Nettle Frees Testosterone

T NATION | Altered States: Achieving the Dick of Death:

"When too much of your Testosterone is bound up by SHBG, Testosterone isn't free to do its thing.

Luckily, concentrated extracts from the nettle root bind to SHBG instead of Testosterone, thus reducing SHBG's Testosterone-binding capability and increasing the amount of free Testosterone in the blood stream.

Nettle root is also a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which means that it prevents Testosterone from converting to DHT, the hormone that's known to be implicated in hair loss and prostate enlargement."

Turmeric Extract Suppresses Fat Gain

Turmeric Extract Suppresses Fat - Tufts University:

"Curcumin, the major polyphenol found in turmeric, appears to reduce weight gain in mice and suppress the growth of fat tissue in mice and cell models. Researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University (USDA HNRCA) studied mice fed high fat diets supplemented with curcumin and cell cultures incubated with curcumin."

"But, the addition of curcumin does not just inhibit the production of fat tissue, as you can see in the table below. The amount of free fatty acids, triglycerides and cholesterol in the animals’ blood indicates that curcumin also accelerates fat metabolism."
