Preventing andropause with supplements

May 3rd, 2008 by admin

The word testosterone is a well-known symbol of malehood and even though everyone is aware of its association with male sex drive and reproduction, few know about why it is so important. Testosterone is a hormone (a kind of molecule that travels through the body and has specific effects on certain organs or tissues) which is chemically known as an anabolic steroid. Testosterone is responsible for a number of important functions, such as sex drive, energy levels, immunity, and amount of cellular tissue (which is related to volume and strength of muscles).

Testosterone levels in men are about ten times greater than in women. The amounts of testosterone that are produced and circulated through the body varies with age. It experiences a large increase in adolescence but it starts declining by the twenties and normal levels drop about 10% for every decade after 30. If a man’s testosterone levels are much lower than normal, it results in andropause, which is how male menopause is known.

Pharmaceutical industry offers some products to help slow down the decrease in testosterone levels as we age. Provacyl is a proprietary blend of compounds specifically designed to increase testosterone levels by stimulating testosterone production.

The increase in testosterone levels has noticeable effects in many aspects of health and well-being. Users report increased alert and focus as well as a sharper mind. Memory is also significantly improved. Being testosterone primarily a sexual hormone one of the effects of its stimulation is the restoration of a normal sex life, even after having lost the libido. Provacyl can also help with age-related erectile dysfunctions, helping to get or maintain a natural erection.
