Pass The Onions

ONIONS BOOST TESTOSTERONE

Clinical studies recently conducted in Iran show that onion
juice can help boost testosterone in animals. Researchers in
 Jordan, who were intrigued by this research, decided to test
onion’s pro-sexual effects and conduct a study of their own
at the Jordan University of Science and Technology. Both
 groups of researchers were looking for natural ways to boost 
libido and provide relief to impotent men without the use of
pharmaceutical drugs. 

As men pass the age of 30, hormonal changes occur that can result in a decrease in testosterone, sex drive, and stamina. Certainly this isn’t something that any red-blooded man looks forward to!
But thankfully there are some natural herbs and supplements that can help boost your test levels and rejuvenate your sex drive and stamina. Although it might not do much for your breath, the latest on libido research looks at the positive e ects that onion juice can have on sexual function.

DO ONIONS BOOST LIBIDO?


In the most recent trial conducted in Jordan, researchers specifically
investigated the effects of onion juice on sexual behavior
 of sexually active male rats and in male rats with drug-induced
 sexual dysfunction. Sexually experienced male rats were divided
into seven subject groups: a control group, three onion treated
 groups (0.5, 1, and 2 mL/day), a drug-induced sexual
 dysfunction group, and two drug-induced sexual dysfunction
 groups taking different doses of onion. Fresh onion juice was
pressed each day and administered to the appropriate subject
 groups once daily for 20 consecutive days. At the end of the
 study, sexual behavior parameters and testosterone levels were 
measured and compared among the groups.

STUDY RESULTS


Results from the study in Jordan showed that serum testosterone
levels increased signi cantly after onion juice administration
and that the drug-induced reduction in testosterone
was restored to normal after administration of onion juice. In
the same study, the male rats treated with onion juice were
much quicker to engage in sexual activity with female rats.
 The Jordanian researchers concluded that this study clearly
shows that fresh onion juice can improve sexual performance
in sexually healthy male rats and in those with drug-induced 
sexual dysfunction by way of increasing testosterone secretion.
Look out for more research in the future that will assess 
the efficacy of onion juice and onion extract supplements
on boosting testosterone and libido in humans!
