Incorporating testosterone into your diet after a workout can pay off huge.

Testosterone is a hormone that exists naturally in both men and women (though it is more prominent in males), and is secreted from the testis and ovaries respectively. Recent studies have shown that after a workout your testosterone levels drop, which indicates an increased uptake by your bodies natural systems. This absorption coincides with the processing of protein and carbohydrates, and is thought to act as a catalyst for muscle growth.
