Both Men and Women can use Testosterone Hormone Replacement!
The benefits of hormone replacement therapy are endless and millions of people have begun using it to help improve energy levels, remove wrinkles, reduce stress levels, control type 2 diabetes and reverse muscle wasting.
Signs of the Problem
Do you relate to any of these?
Sluggish libido
Decreased ability of male organs to function
Fatigue or a decrease in physical stamina
Difficulty remembering
Anxiety or moodiness
Threat of heart disease
Flabby muscles
Overweight
Lowered levels of Testosterone can cause these things. In men testosterone, or androgen, aids the development of secondary male characteristics such as thicker facial hair (beards) and thicker hair on other parts of the body and causes the male voice to change in the teenage years. It also causes a male body to develop muscle and to grow into the shape of an adult male. Most testosterone is manufactured in male glands, but a smaller amount is produced in female glands. Some is also manufactured in adrenal glands.
Results:
Plentiful Testosterone
Creates muscle without fat
Enhances libido
Increases a sense of well being and happiness
Lessens cholesterol
Improves energy
Protects against heart disease
This hormone is responsible for the normal growth and development of male sex organs, and the maintenance of secondary male characteristics. Without enough of it, you can feel anxious, depressed, become intellectually muddled, and develop a low libido. Also, low levels of testosterone may result in a decline in muscle mass and strength, and an increase in upper body and abdominal fat.
Most testosterone in the body attaches itself to particular proteins in the blood, although a part of the testosterone is “free.” So a test can be done to measure the specific proteins and thus the level of testosterone. The test is normally performed at larger medical facilities. Conditions such as hyperthyroidism (a disease where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones) and obesity increase the particular protein, so in that case a test for “free” testosterone is done. Normally, testosterone increases in the male body until about the age of 40, after which it dwindles.
If you’re a man with type 2 diabetes, you may be at an increased risk for low testosterone. Recent research shows that low testosterone affects 33%-45% of men with type 2 diabetes.
Female Testosterone
Contrary to what some people believe, testosterone isn’t exclusively a male hormone. Women produce small amounts of testosterone in their bodies as well, which helps promote a healthy endocrine system and is a key factor in optimal hormone balance. Testosterone is important to rejuvenation, vitality and adding energized years to your life.
Testosterone in a woman is normal, just as estrogen in men is normal. The level of testosterone is considerably lower in a woman than a man, but is considered good because it has been proven to increase a woman’s libido by increasing the blood flow to the female organs and enhances sensation. Testosterone in women has also been found to improve energy and decrease fatigue, as well as increase a sense of well-being and motivation to perform difference tasks. During the menopausal stage in women when estrogen levels decrease, many take hormone therapy that increases the level of estrogen. As a result, many women integrate testosterone to their daily routines. This has shown to increase their level of energy, decrease depression, decrease triglycerides, and has even been shown to help with bone density.
