Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced in the testes (in men) and ovaries (in women), with small amounts from the adrenal glands. It plays a key role in developing and maintaining male characteristics like muscle mass, facial hair, and a deeper voice. In both men and women, it influences libido (sexual desire), mood, energy levels, and bone density. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and imbalances can affect health and well-being. It is essential for overall physical and reproductive health, functioning as a vital chemical messenger that supports various bodily processes.
