Testosterone (It's Not Just a Male Hormone)

Testosterone, a hormone often thought of as a male hormone, is surprisingly still extremely important for females. But it’s far more than just a sex hormone—it can affect the brain, muscle, fat, bone, and nerves.

We’ll discuss the ages of women this is most recommended for, mild and adverse effects, and recommended routes for testosterone replacement.

Remarkably, this perceived male hormone may have more significant effects to a female’s health even beyond our sexual health!
