A little amount of hormone is also found in women. In the US, testosterone is used to treat sexual problems in men. Although, the hormone has been used to treat these conditions in men for a long time, it has not been approved by the FDA.

Testosterone is a hormone that is primarily produced in a man's testes and it is likewise generated by the adrenal glands, although to a lesser degree.

The chemical name of testosterone is 17-beta-hydroxy-4-androstene-3-one and out of all the androgens that are naturally produced, it happens to be the strongest.

Testosterone is responsible for the promotion of the things that help to distinguish adult males from adult females such as relatively higher muscle mass and on average; they produce ten times more of it than their female counterparts. Testosterone is a critical component in the muscle-building process because it binds to the androgen receptor on the muscle cell surface and causes the signals that tell the muscle cell to increase protein synthesis to get stronger.

One way to help men raise their testosterone level is through the use of pills but must keep in mind that at present pills are not as effective and presently unavailable in the U.S.

To increase the sex drive, doctors usually prescribe a testosterone injection. To increase the levels of testosterone in older men, doctors recommend for a testosterone injection.

These days, there are some natural supplements available to use. You are recommended to read as many reviews as you can. There are many reviews such as Pro Testosterone review available for you to learn more about it.

Although natural testosterone boosters will not have as dramatic effects on the male physique as pro-hormones do, they are still worth making use of because the rise in testosterone concentrations that they cause is large enough to cause noticeable results such as superior gains in muscle mass, higher libido and feeling generally more 'alpha male'. Also, they are generally not associated with the health concerns that are associated with pro-hormones like being toxic to the liver for example.

Another way in which a natural testosterone booster cycle is better than a pro-hormone cycle is that it will usually be cheaper because no liver protection or PCT (post cycle therapy) products are necessary.

One of the drawbacks of natural testosterone boosters is that bodybuilders who are still in their teens and early twenties will likely not find them very effective since their natural testosterone concentrations will be very high anyway.

It is also a good idea to go on-line and to read what people are saying about their testosterone replacements. It is always best to get all the facts and then you can speak to your physician about what method will work the best for you or about what method you prefer the most. In conclusion it is a fact that testosterone replacement is beneficial for both men and women.
