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 fatigue, loss of lean muscle and trouble gaining muscle mass, decreased sex drive, high blood pressure, premature aging, and sexual dysfunction. Low T is not just a cause of aging, however, and can often arise from underlying health issues. These underlying health conditions include obesity, diabetes, infections, hormonal disorders, cancer, and kidney and liver disease. Some medications have also been known to lower testosterone levels.
There is treatment for low T and youthful vitality can be regained. Through treatment you can see an increase in energy, stamina, sex drive, strength, fitness and overall well-being. Treatment can also help with reducing cholesterol levels, improve 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.
