Testosterone is a male hormone and is produced in small traces in the female body as well. The testicles are the organs responsible for its production in the male body. It spikes at puberty and contributes to physical, mental and emotional changes in the male body. Shooting *** drive, increase in bone and muscle mass, body hair growth and deepening of voice are certain things testosterone is responsible for. Simply put, a male body acquires its ‘manly traits’ because of this hormone.

What Exactly Is Low Testosterone? 

According to extensive research, testosterone takes a punch in the jaw after the age of 30. The natural production drops and keeps on going down, every ten years.  While this is happening in the body, SHBG- *** Hormone Binding Globulin comes into play. It traps most of the free T in the body and restricts it from being used by other bodily functions. Whatever is left for usage is termed as ‘bio-available Testosterone’ and of course, a lazier and generally weaker male body.
