Does a few grams of vitamin c help testosterone? I know it's been proven to lower cortisol which can help sleep

From Examine.com:

"There may be protective effects of vitamin C (any antioxidant, actually) on testicular function. An impairment of testicular function normally suppresses testosterone concentrations, and preserving function would preserve testosterone concentrations; while this is a relative increase, it does not suggest that superloading Vitamin C increases testosterone beyond basal levels"

essentially, mega-dosing Vit C will not boost T-levels.

there are a few questionable rodent models, but I haven't seen anything significant in humans
