How does CBD effect testosterone levels in men?

Question

If it does it all, iam finding mixed answers online some articles claiming it reduces production a little others saying it reduces stress thus supports production. Can't find any actual science though.

I dont think there is any solid research on this, i doubt it has some great effect on testosterone but i cant say thats a fact

If you are worried about testosterone theres plenty of things you could do to keeps your levels healthy from diet to exercise to sleep habits, avoiding stress, being sexually active, etc.

I agree. If you’re T levels are lowered from CBD chances are there are other areas of your life you could tweak to fix it.

I wouldn't believe anything I read about supplements and testosterone online, unless it's in a peer reviewed journal (or a repository like NCBI).

Guys online are so weird about testosterone production, and that makes it fertile ground for quacks, grifters, and idiots who all want to have a "take" on the penis hormone testosterone.

Eat well (fruits, veggies, no sugars), get lots of exercise outdoors, and plenty of positive social interaction. You'll be fine. If you have a clinical issue with testosterone, you can get a blood test at your doctors office. Playing WebMD with your endocrine system isn't a great idea.

THC lowers your test levels quite a bit, but CBD acts differently. Hemp flower still has some THC so if you smoke that it'lll likely lower it a bit. All depends how much you smoke though
