Phytoandrogen

Okay kiddo, let's talk about phytoandrogen. "Phyto" means plant, and "androgen" is a hormone that belongs to a group of male hormones called "androgens." These hormones are really important for developing and maintaining male traits in the body.

Now, some plants contain compounds that act like androgens. These compounds are called phytoandrogens. They are a bit like a plant's version of the hormones that boys have in their bodies.

When we eat foods that contain phytoandrogens, our bodies can use them like we use androgens. This means that phytoandrogens can help support normal hormone levels in the body, which can be important for our health.

Some examples of plants that contain phytoandrogens include soy, flaxseeds, and lentils. These foods can be really healthy for us, and they might even provide some benefits for people who are concerned about their testosterone levels.

So, that's the basic idea behind phytoandrogens. They are compounds in plants that act a bit like the hormones that boys have in their bodies. Eating foods that contain phytoandrogens might help support healthy hormone levels and overall health.
