5 Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone, which is ahormone that is made primarily in the testes and essential for the developmentof a male’s growth and masculine characteristics. Testosterone production peaksduring adolescence and early adulthood. After that, it’s bioavailability andnatural levels drop slightly each year at a rate of approximately 1% a year.

Testosteroneplays a significant factor in the production and building of muscle mass andstrong bones. It is also responsible for men’s deeper voices, and itcontributes to male’s “vitality”. Low testosterone levels in a man is called hypogonadism.

Women alsoproduce testosterone, but in very low amounts. In women, the ovaries andadrenal glands produce the hormone.

Healthy Heart and Blood

A healthy heart pumps blood throughout thebody, which gives our muscles and organs the oxygen needed for optimal performance.

Low T levels are linked to severalcardiovascular risks. According to the Harvard Medical School, testosterone replacement therapy canwiden the coronary arteries. This possibly can be very helpful for men withangina, chest pain, and pressure when your heart isn’t receiving enough blood.

Testosterone also can cause a rise inred blood cell counts, which is an excellent thing if you suffer from anemia(low red blood cell count). 

Less Fat, More Muscle

Leaner body mass helps keep weight inbalance and increases energy levels. There has been some evidence to suggestthat testosterone treatment can reduce fat and increase muscle mass andstrength. This effect is more significant if one combines treatment with weighttraining and exercise.

A recentstudy tested 108 menover the age of 65 and showed that testosterone treatment significantly reducedbody fat, especially in the arms and legs. Those same men all had increases in theirlean mass, mostly in the torso and abdominal area. The men had been treatedwith testosterone for 36 months.

Stronger Bones

It’s no surprise that stronger boneshelp support your muscles and internal organs, which will help boost yourathletic performance. As we age and our testosterone levels decrease, so does ourbone density. This increases our risk of osteoporosis and the possibility offracturing bones. A study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolismshowed that older men can improve their bone density by starting a regimen oftestosterone replacement therapy. This is even truer of men who had very lowtestosterone levels before beginning therapy. 

 Better“Vitality and Vigor”

Testosterone levels naturally rise inresponse to arousal and activity. Testosterone levels fall off during longperiods of abstinence. In turn, more testosterone boosts that certain desire,continuing the cycle. Testosterone has been shown to have a positive effect ona man’s drive and performance. Studies have also showed that women are moreattracted to men who have higher levels of testosterone.

Testosterone also affects a woman’s  drive. According to the Mayo Clinic, there’s not a great deal of studies aboutlong-term safety in women, so doctors are most likely reluctant to prescribetestosterone to women.

Improved Mood

Theevidence is quite clear, though, that low testosterone significantly affects moodin hypogonadal males. Multiple studiesusing testosterone therapy have shown that testosterone therapy affects moodfavorably. It’s also worth noting, several studies have shown that moodimproves rapidly in a matter of days or weeks ratherthan months. For example, one study on Androgel showed that almost all theimprovement in mood happened within 30 days in men on Androgel. Androgel is notknown for really pushing one's testosterone levels that high.  Men oninjections or pellets will undoubtedly feel even stronger and more rapidelevations in mood.
