Testosterone and Aging

As men age, their testosterone levels may slowly decline. This occurrence has been called "viripause", "andropause" or "male menopause." This menopause may be caused by the testosterone receptors becoming less receptive, while the amount of free testosterone in the body decreases. The decrease is due to an increase in a blood protein that binds with the hormone, rendering it useless.

Testim gel

Testim gel contains the active ingredient testosterone, which is the same as the naturally occurring male hormone testosterone. Testosterone is known as an androgen. It is produced by the testicles and is the main hormone essential for normal growth and development of the male sex organs and male sexual characteristics. The natural production of testosterone is controlled by another set of hormones called gonadotrophins, which are released from the pituitary gland in the brain.

DHEA

DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone (D-hi-dro-epp-E-an-dro-ster-own), a hormone made by the adrenal glands located just above the kidneys. Scientists have known about this hormone since 1934. More than 150 hormones are made by the adrenal glands. However, the most abundant hormone made by the adrenal glands is DHEA.

Testosterone

Testosterone is the male sex hormone produced principally by the testes. The amount of testosterone produced is controlled by the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), both of which are secreted by the front lobe of the pituitary gland. At the onset of puberty, there is an increase in the production of testosterone, particularly in boys.

AndroGel

AndroGel is a clear, colorless gel medicine that puts testosterone into the body through the skin. Once AndroGel is absorbed through the skin, it enters the bloodstream and helps the body reach normal testosterone (T) levels. The type of testosterone in AndroGel is the same as the testosterone made by the body.

With daily AndroGel treatment, T levels may go back to normal. In clinical trials, men who used AndroGel every day experienced symptom relief once their T levels were back within normal range.
