6. Oysters
For centuries, oysters have always been rumored to be one of nature’s greatest aphrodisiacs; after all, their resemblance to a woman’s genitalia is uncanny. According to recent studies, those rumors have been put to rest. A team of American and Italian researchers found that oysters, among other types of shellfish, were found rich in rare amino acids which increase levels of sex hormones. Two of the rare amino acids which they found were D-aspartic and N-methyl-D-aspartate which are so rare, they can’t just be found in any old vitamin shop. In another study, rats were injected with the same amino acids and researchers found that there was an overall increase in testosterone in the male and progesterone in female rats. This hormone increase equates to being more sexually active.
