Testosterone has coem up a few time lately. Some comments:
Testosterone is important for both women and men. As we grow older there is a tendency to product less. It is a good idea for both men and women to have your levels checked if you are experiencing decreased sex drive. Another sign is decrease in muscle mass.
The patch was mentioned earlier, and it is a good idea for low levels, but there are also herbal and over the counter supplement solutions. A few of these:
DHEA - it is precursor to testosterone, so healthy DHEA levels can give your body the chance the produce it's own testosterone. Get time release. Works for men and women.
testis tribulus - don't know the effect in women, in men it helps produce testosterone. inexpensive.
tongkat ali - the current favorite in the longevity community. similar effects to testis
tribulus but considered stronger. More expensive then testis tribulus
Blue up - an herbal supplement that combines both of these - a favorite of weight lifters. Get the one withOUT caffeine.
I'm told cold showers help too. And of course all your KY is helping keep your hormone levels healthy!
If you go with the patch or shots, some signs that you are taking too much include getting "testy". But the right amount will increase well being, help maintain a healthy weight and may slow down aging.
