In response to your question, Minh Hai, while goat meat offers various nutritional benefits, there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest it directly increases testosterone levels or improves male sexual function.

According to traditional medicine, goat meat is sweet and warming, believed to support yang and enrich blood, making it suitable for individuals who are thin or debilitated. A 100 g serving contains 122 kcal, 20,7 g of protein, 4,3 g of lipids, 11 mg of calcium, 2 mg of iron, and 4 mg of zinc, along with fats, B vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients help replenish energy and restore physical strength. When overall health improves, sexual activity may also benefit.

You can consume goat meat in moderation, around three meals per week, with each serving being 250 g. However, this meat is high in protein and fat, which can lead to dyslipidemia and affect kidney function due to the excessive excretion of protein metabolic products if consumed in large quantities. Individuals with gout, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or cardiovascular disease should exercise caution when consuming this food.

To genuinely enhance sexual health, men should focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, appropriate weight management, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and limiting alcohol and tobacco. Additionally, natural extracts such as eurycoma longifolia, French maritime pine bark extract, and ocean oyster extract can stimulate the body's production of endogenous testosterone and natural nitric oxide, supporting improvements in male sexual function and overall health. When experiencing sexual health issues, men should visit a specialized medical facility for examination and appropriate treatment.
