Benefits of ginger for men
Ginger is known as a male aphrodisiac due to its ability to stimulate testosterone production and increase libido. Regular use of rhizome extracts in the testes increases the amount of cholesterol, the main component from which Leydig cells synthesize testosterone molecules. At the same time, the weight of the gonads increases slightly. Initially, these properties were confirmed by experiments with rodents, and later men suffering from infertility participated in the study. After 3 months of regular intake of ginger extract, the subjects' testosterone levels increased by 18%, leading to an improvement in fertility parameters and semen analysis.
Effect on sperm characteristics:
- Amount increased by 16%;
- Mobility - by 43%;
- The total number of samples without structural pathologies - by 18%;
- Vitality - 40%;
- Semen volume increased by 36% in 3 months.
Ginger root is especially beneficial for overweight men. Excess fat is a source of female hormones and a factor that inhibits testosterone synthesis.
Ginger helps you gain shape through the following properties:
- Accelerates the onset of a feeling of fullness during a meal;

To achieve the above effects, simply ingest 4 g of dry ginger, ground into powder, daily, distributing this amount at each meal (it can be added to food as a condiment).
