Testosterone Therapy Benefits in Males
The U.S. department of Health & Services, which operates the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has been conducting studies into the benefits of Testosterone therapy in older men.
At least 5 million men in the United States may suffer from a condition known as “Low T”, which speeds up aging and may even increase mortality rates.
​
The male testes that produce sperm also produce testosterone. But, as men age this production slows down and can contribute to a range of age-related symptoms.
Testosterone is responsible for libido and assists in regulating fat distribution, bone mass, muscle mass & strength, and the production of red blood cells.
​
The Endocrine Society reports that Low Testosterone levels are linked to the metabolic syndrome—a cluster of metabolic risk factors that increase the chances of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes—and other health problems, including loss of bone and muscle mass, depression, and decreased libido.
​
Low Testosterone may cause:
​
-
Decreased ability to walk,
-
Loss of muscle mass and strength
-
Decreased vitality
-
Decreased sexual function
-
Impaired cognition
-
Cardiovascular disease & anemia
There is even research put forward by the NIH that older men with Low T counts could be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
​
The study suggested that on average, men who were diagnosed with AD, had 50% less Testosterone than those who didn’t develop the disease.
​
Increasingly, many are referring to the age-associated symptoms related to Low Tas contributing to the male version of Menopause called “Andropause”. Erectile dysfunction, including low libido, may in certain cases be directly related to Low Testosterone.
​
This has generated an interest in new hormone replacement therapy programs offered by medical clinics, including Regenx Medical Institute.
​
After undergoing an intensive medical examination, patients may receive Testosterone in the form of the following:
• Gels
• Patches
• Injectables
These are FDA-approved and only administered by an onsite doctor who has verified its benefits for a particular male patient.
​
Some patients may experience positive benefits within 30 days of treatment including:
​
• Decrease in heart attacks
• Lower inflammation
• Lowers cholesterol
• Lowers vascular disease and death
• Decrease in premature coronary artery disease
• Increases cardiac output allowing more air and oxygen intake. This means you can breath like a 20 year old and display greater stamina!
• Deters metabolic syndrome
• Decreases obesity and fat cells
• Improve brain function
• Improves memory
• Alleviates depression
• Helps with male erections
• Protects the prostate against cancer
