💪 Want better sleep, less inflammation, and more testosterone? Research shows green tea should be your new go-to.
Green tea has long been praised for its digestive and antioxidant benefits, but a new study reveals it may also be a powerful ally in boosting testosterone—especially for men over 45.
Researchers found that long-term green tea drinkers had testosterone levels up to 30% higher than non-drinkers, along with significantly lower inflammation and better sleep. These findings suggest that compounds in green tea, like the antioxidant EGCG and the amino acid theanine, may help the body circulate more active testosterone, reduce harmful inflammation, and improve sleep quality—all of which are critical for muscle growth and overall vitality.
The study, which involved 280 men, compared those who rarely drank green tea with individuals who consumed at least one cup a day for over 20 years. Not only did the long-term drinkers report fewer instances of insomnia and depression, but MRI scans and bloodwork also showed measurable biological advantages. While the research focused on older men, earlier studies suggest green tea may also influence hormones in women, making it a compelling option for anyone looking to enhance their health naturally. For bodybuilders and wellness seekers alike, going green might just be the secret weapon for long-term gains.
