Boost Your Sex Drive
Testosterone Replacement
Testosterone is a hormone made by a man’s testicles. Testosterone surges during puberty and builds a man’s muscles, deepens his voice and boosts the size of his penis and testes. In adulthood, it keeps a man’s muscles and bones strong and maintains his interest in sex. In short, it’s what makes a man feel masculine.

After age 30, men experience a gradual decline in testosterone. A decrease in sex drive sometimes accompanies the drop in testosterone, leading many men to mistakenly believe that their loss of interest in sex is simply due to getting older.
Others signs of low testosterone include:
- Mind: Depression, reduced self-confidence, difficulty concentrating, disturbed sleep
- Body: Declining muscle and bone mass, increased body fat, fatigue, swollen breasts, hot flashes
- Sexual: Lower sex drive, fewer spontaneous erections, difficulty sustaining erections.
