Have You Heard of Testosterone for Women?

Yes, you read that right!

Although testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone – after all, men produce 10 times the amount of testosterone than women – medical research has uncovered some surprising links between testosterone and women’s health.  It’s now believed that during menopause, the loss of testosterone – not estrogen – is primarily responsible for the fatigue, weight gain, and loss of libido that’s so common.

It’s not surprising, considering the important role testosterone plays in a woman’s health.  In fact, women produce up to ten times more testosterone than estrogen in their early reproductive years.  That means that focusing on increasing testosterone intake – rather than estrogen – could be crucial for managing a woman’s menopausal symptoms.

The Benefits of Testosterone for Women

 If you’re looking for specific reasons why you should consider increasing your testosterone intake, consider these compelling benefits:

• Testosterone can help relieve the most common symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

• It can also help decrease urinal urgency, or the desire to constantly go to the bathroom.

• Increasing testosterone can help improve your mood, as well as your mental clarity and concentration. If you ever feel like you’re in a fog, testosterone could help you improve your ability to focus.

• Testosterone can help re-ignite your sexual spark, as this hormone is responsible for increasing sexual desire and libido.

• This hormone can help increase bone density, which is a serious health problem many menopausal women face. Additionally, testosterone can help increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat, thus combatting menopausal weight gain.

• Testosterone can help increase blood flow and improve cardiovascular health. This is critical, especially considering that heart disease is a top killer of women.
