High Protein Messing with Testosterone?!

why would a high level of protein even affect testosterone well the reason being is protein is made up of amino acids amino acids are the building blocks of protein now your body usually uses these amino acids for the activities of daily living right doing all the things you need to do they're the building blocks particularly if you're healing or you're bodybuilding or your weightlifting you need those building blocks to actually recover from illness or from bodybuilding now what happens is your body converts those amino acids to nitrogen if that nitrogen is not used up by the body it's converted into Ura which is then excreted through the urine and so the theory is that if you reach a certain threshold which is called the maximum rate of Ura synthesis your body can no longer make any more Ura and then that nitrogen builds up and luckely that then diverts your body to dealing with that nitrogen rather than making more testosterone either way I think it's safe to say that you can eat protein and not worry about your testosterone
