What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone produced mainly in the testicles which helps maintain a man’s sex drive, muscle mass, fat distribution, bone density, and body hair.

As men get older testosterone levels gradually decline, typically about 1 percent a year after the age of 30 or 40. In addition, certain medical conditions such as heart, kidney, and liver disease, diabetes, and obesity are contributing factors. Read more about how to naturally increase your testosterone.
