A little bit of Royal Jelly increases testosterone level by 22 percent
As we wrote in 2011, animal studies showed that a supplement with Royal Jelly increased the production of testosterone. This is also true for humans, as we now know. We found a human study in the digital scientific journal of Thi-Qar College of Medicine in Iraq.
Study
The researchers divided the men into four groups who all took 10 gr honey before going to sleep at night.
The first group used honey containing 100 mg Royal Jelly. The second group used honey with 50 mg Royal Jelly, and the amount for the third group was 25 mg. The fourth group used honey without Royal Jelly.
The supplementation lasted for 3 months. The study does not mention which sort of Royal Jelly was used.
Results
Royal Jelly increased the production of the stimulating hormones FSH and LH by some tens of percent. The second table shows the effect on the concentration of LH.
