Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Did you know that testosterone is one of the most important hormones to prevent breast cancer? Testosterone is an essential hormone in both men and women. In men it is primarily produced in the testis. In women it is primarily produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Testosterone levels begin to decline at the age of 25 and get lower each year and decade. The benefits of maintaining optimal levels in both men are numerous. Again, by optimal we mean blood levels on the high end for a 20 year old man or women.
