Testosterone

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is the main sex hormone found in males. Also known as "the male hormone," it plays key roles in reproductive and sexual health and has important impacts on overall well-being.

Some key facts about testosterone:

• Produced mainly in the testes in men, with a small amount made in the adrenal glands.


• Levels of testosterone peak during adolescence and early adulthood.


• Responsible for traits associated with masculinity like muscle mass, facial hair growth, and deep voice.


• Supports male reproductive processes like production of sperm.


• Boosts sex drive and plays a role in erections.


• Helps build lean muscle when combined with exercise.


• Affects distribution of body fat.


• Impacts red blood cell production, bone density, and mineralization.


• Influences overall sense of vitality and well-being.

Why does testosterone decline?

After age 30, testosterone levels in men start to gradually decline by about 1% per year on average. Various factors can contribute to this:

• Natural aging process


• Health conditions like obesity or diabetes


• Prescription medications


• High levels of inflammation


• Lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, or stress
