Testosterone, a very important male hormone, helps power a man’s sex drive, reproductive abilities, event the development of muscle and bone. Production speaks in early adulthood so a gradual decline in testosterone is natural with age, but the degree varies by person.

How can I reduce my risk of Low T?

  • Manage stress levels
