Testosterone is the hormone which results in the development of manly features in a male body. It puts hair on a man’s chest and face! It is also the driving force behind his sexual desires. During the puberty phase it is this hormone that develops the body mass and muscle mass in males. Testosterone also helps in deepening the voice in males and in boosting the size of the penis and the testes. During adulthood, this hormone plays a vital role in developing and maintaining the muscle mass and making the bones stronger.

Generally we think that low testosterone affects only aged or at least middle aged men. But, today the occurrence of low testosterone symptoms is really high. Age is not the only factor contributing to these symptoms. Changing lifestyles, obesity or even medication can affect hormone levels in a man from an early age. Sometimes even the presence of a benign tumor in the pituitary gland can be cause of decreasing levels of testosterone in a male body. Generally if the testosterone level in a man falls below 300 nanograms per deciliter, it is called a condition of low T and requires treatment.

ďƒ˜Men in the age group over 70 have a high risk of suffering from heart ailments and diabetes. Studies have revealed that low testosterone levels are correlated with such symptoms. The riddle is, would treating the testosterone level in men over 70 reduce their probability of suffering from such life threatening diseases? At 70, the concern of low T shifts from having sexual desire to having a proper overall health. Studies have proved that men who have really high levels of testosterone even at this age naturally, are at a lower risk of suffering from stroke or heart diseases. The level of testosterone is around 550.
