What is Testosterone?

Testosterone helps regulate sex drive, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm. It has been found that high levels of testosterone is linked to a low level of body fat.

What is Low Testosterone?

Low testosterone is when your testosterone levels have fallen to a level that is not within range for your age group. Testosterone is an important hormone in males that cause them to maintain muscle, bone strength, and a healthy sex drive. Testosterone is responsible for many changes in puberty, such as a deeper voice, growth spurts, and growth of body hair. Testosterone is important in maintaining your overall health, so if you aren’t feeling yourself lately, low testosterone may the cause for that.
