Testosterone is an anabolic steroid and also the primary sex hormone in men. Its role is to help develop the male reproductive system as well as help promote certain male characteristics which include the ability to gain muscle, grow facial hair, and have a healthy sex drive. Testosterone is what physically makes a man. As men age, it is natural for them to gradually lose testosterone. When testosterone levels are low, men can experience a number of health issues, including high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Low testosterone and high levels of estradiol can lead to an increased risk of coronary artery disease and sometimes death. When testosterone is balanced or at a higher level, it predicts a reduced 5-year risk of cardiovascular disease in men. Preventing testosterone deficiency and hormonal imbalance is key to improve cardiovascular outcome. Testosterone Replacement Therapy can help minimize cardiovascular risks. Through treatment, you can also experience an increase in energy, stamina, sex drive, strength, fitness, and overall well-being. Treatment can also help with reducing cholesterol levels, improving concentration and focus, and help create greater elasticity of the heart and other muscle tissue. Treatment has also helped men with arthritis, eczema, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis, along with other conditions.
