Phytoandrogens are useful in to gain muscles
Herbal drugs and their usage in order to have improved lean body and muscular mass, as well as to have a perfectly muscular body is traceable to time immemorial. Here we would attempt to have a closer look at a special class of phytochemical compounds that are considered to be the real source of masculinity and strong body.
What are phytoandrogens?
Phytoandrogens are a special class of compounds which are mainly found in plant kingdom. As the term itself suggests Phyto (meaning plant) and Androgen (meaning compounds that mimick the male reproductive hormones) constitute the word phytoandorogen. Androgens or androgenic hormones are responsible for gaining male characters, improve sexual performance, increase lean body mass, and provide secondary sexual characteristics like beard, pubic hairs etc. in males. In plant kingdom, there are certain compounds which are found to possess a chemical structure which is strikingly similar to the male androgens. Therefore the common term phytoandrogen actually covers an array of such compound present in the plant kingdom.
How does phytoandrogens work?
The mode of operation of phytoandrogens is very easy to understand, in plant kingdom these compounds are mainly present in their glycosidic form i.e. attached to a sugar molecule like glucose, fructose etc. When any such plant material is consumed these glycosidic bonds are broken, and the androgenic compounds which have structure similar to reproductive hormones are released in the body. These compounds then function similar to testosterone and leads to an increased lean mass and muscle weight. Phytoandrogens are also helpful in providing greater muscular health and in improving the testicular functions, thereby positively influencing the energy and stamina. A lot of plants are rich in phytoestrogens, a few of them very commonly used for this purpose viz. Asparagus racemosus also known as Shatavari, Chlorophytum borivilianum (Safed Musli), Turnera diffusa, Tribulus terresteris etc.
