BIO-IDENTICAL MALE SEX HORMONE REPLACEMENT

Picture
Decline in testosterone effects every man and every area of his life.  Testosterone is the sex hormone that is what gives a man his masculine features.  Many parts of the body have receptors for testosterone, including the heart and brain.  As testosterone declines with age, there is an incraese in blood pressuse, cholesterol, heart diease, decrease in mental function and sexual funtion.

Men also have a very small amount of estrogens to balance the testosterone.  If a man becomes overwieght the fat tissue starts converting testosterone to estrogen and this causes estrogen dominence(this is also discussed in the Female Sex Hormone Page).  Increase in estrogens/decrease in testosterone causes breast development, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, decrease in energy. 
 
Testosterone deficiency be corrected with bio-identical testosterone replacement.  This should be supplemented with healthy diet and exercise to eleminate the fat tissue that is converting testosterone to estrogen.  Most men will need to take zinc and other natural supplements to help block the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
