https://i.nostr.build/Q7dE7.png so, are you gonna read the rest then? you are wrong LIKE ALL OTHER STEROID HORMONES, TESTOSTERONE IS DERIVED FROM CHOLESTEROL
not only that, but the cholesterol is a delicate thing - heat denatures it and makes it unable to be synthesised into testosterone, and forces the body to synthesise this raw material itself raw egg yolk contains, when it hasn't been heated over a certain temperature (probably in the 40s C) a cholesterol that is the exact intermediate required ah yeah, maybe i'm higher T than i give myself credit for, at least in some parts of my system. i am pretty aggressive at certain things, like proving people wrong idgaf if that causes me problems because you are wrong, and you are promoting wrongness and wrongness leads to suffering, and you clearly dgaf so that makes me mad
let's look at cholesterol itself next, and the different kinds, shall we? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol https://i.nostr.build/oMWqQ.png so, if you read this text, you would understand that having this chemical absorb in the intestines directly in its correct form dramatically improves its chances of being available for the liver (via P450) to make it into testosterone raw egg yolk is one of the best forms of precursor material for synthesising testosterone, and no coincidence that this also is found in the fat of most ruminants, where it is protected from damage much better than in an egg yolk
there are few other sources than these two, and you see, the readily absorbable forms simply don't exist in plants and the benefits of it are clear if you are concerned about raising your testosterone levels (and it is equally applicable to estrogen, as they both start with cholesterol)
