A testosterone generating and metabolizing enhancer is proposed in the invention, which increases concentrations of testosterone in both seminal vesicle and bloodstream, and may further promote the gene expression of metabolizing testosterone into 5α-reductase of dihydrotestosterone. The testosterone generating and metabolizing enhancer of the invention is characterized in that an effective component thereof may be phenylethanoid glycosides; said phenylethanoid glycosides may comprise at least one of echinacoside and acteoside, or may comprise both echinacoside and acteoside, more preferably. The testosterone generating and metabolizing enhancer of the invention may be applied in medicines, substances for external uses on skin, and foods and beverages for mammals (including humans); as well as an animal feed for mammals. |
