Read On To Learn Where These Chemicals That Lower Testosterone, Can Be Found!
There are several chemicals that lower testosterone and most of these we are exposed to on a daily basis.
What I don’t expect you to be able to do is google every item & food group or search the label and know that chemical A is an endocrine disruptor & lowers testosterone.
So the aim of this article is to advise you of the most commonly used items that contain endocrine disruptors and chemicals that lower testosterone production.
What Are Endocrine Disruptors & Why Avoid Them 
You’ve probably noticed I’ve mentioned that chemicals are endocrine disruptors and these lower testosterone.
I wanted to quickly cover off what endocrine disruptors are in case you aren’t aware.
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with your endocrine/ hormone systems.
These disruptions can lead to incorrect hormone production (lowered testosterone & increased estrogen production) & imbalance, cause cancerous tumours, birth defects & other developmental disorders.
Any of the systems in the body which are controlled by hormones can be devastated by hormone disruptors.
Endocrine disruptors have also been associated with the development of learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, brain & cognitive development issues, body deformity & as alluded to above multiple types of cancers.
So on top of being chemicals that lower testosterone, endocrine disruptors as you can see can potentially cause a number of health issues.
When you combine that with the health issues that come with low testosterone/ estrogen dominance, you get a feel for just how dangerous these chemicals can be.
If you haven’t seen the impact low T can have on your health or need a reminder, I advise you check out the below.

You also hopefully have an understanding of the threat they pose to your wider health, on and on top of being chemicals lower testosterone.
The Products That Contain Them
So now we’ve covered the threat, let’s cover the different products & items that contain these chemicals:
- Shower Gel

Obviously if we were to list every kind of plastic, pharmaceutical makeup, food packaging etc. the list would be gigantic!
The main thing to consider is, the more exposure you have the worse it is.
So if you eat, drink, absorb or inhale large quantities directly or indirectly (through, food, liquids, facial pores etc.) the risk is increased.
