When testosterone levels are elevated, you can consume black soybeans or yellow soybeans.

Both black and yellow soybeans are rich in soy isoflavones, a compound believed to help regulate hormone levels in the body and may offer some relief from menopausal symptoms in women. However, for individuals with high testosterone levels, whether male or female, moderate consumption of soybeans and soy products may help balance hormone levels. From a nutritional perspective, both black and yellow soybeans contain various nutrients beneficial to the human body, such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Therefore, consuming either black or yellow soybeans can provide essential nutrients to the body.

However, it is important to note that food cannot replace medical treatment. If testosterone levels remain consistently high, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and undergo medication under a doctor's guidance.
