FAQ's

Testosterone is a steroid hormone that both men and women produce naturally. Although women produce much less of it than men, it plays an important role in the balance of hormonal wellness. Testosterone is responsible for the masculine aspect of men, and women. It produces facial hair, affects bone mass, muscle mass, the way fat is stored and can affect the mood. Too little of it can make a person lethargic and suffer a decreased sense of well-being.

"There are many complications that men can endure as the result of lowering testosterone levels. Some of the less severe are lowered energy levels and a low sex drive. Some of the more serious symptoms are loss of muscular strength and difficulty with concentration and memory. Some of the most common symptoms are:
• Fatigue
• Increased body fat
• Decreased muscle mass
• Erectile dysfunction
• Hair loss
In some cases, more serious problems can evolve such as heart disease and metabolic syndrome."

Testosterone replacement therapy is a treatment for men that suffer from hypogonadism. As men age, their testosterone levels begin to dwindle which can cause problems such as depression, erectile dysfunction, and loss of energy. Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is when a health professional replaces or adds to the testosterone that is available in a person’s body. Testosterone can be added by way of injections, pills, patches, gels, and even pellets that are implanted under the skin. The end result of testosterone replacement therapy is to replace the level of testosterone that was lost and regain optimum health.

Testosterone boosters can come in a variety of forms such as vitamin pills, shakes, drinks, and supplements. Although many people believe that they work wonders and do great things, there is very little scientific evidence that shows testosterone boosters to be effective. However, in theory, some of the compounds that boosters offer can help to raise natural levels of testosterone if used correctly. Natural ways to increase testosterone are activities such as lifting weights and exercising on a regular basis, eating high-quality nutritious foods, sleeping well and avoiding stress.

The most common cause of lowered testosterone levels is aging. However, there are many underlying illnesses that can also cause a decreased amount of testosterone production.
• Inflammatory diseases
• Injury that interrupts blood supply to the testes
• Chemotherapy
• Metabolic disorders
• High levels of stress
There are also a number of other health-related factors that could inhibit the production of testosterone such as lack of exercise and poor diet. The best way to keep testosterone levels at the level that is most beneficial for health is to live a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise, water, and nutritional food.
