How to Take Testostrone Boosters With Androgel

You should consider your testosterone levels if you are a man past the age of 40, and are starting to feel less energetic than in your youthful days. Consult with an anti-aging physician to see if you have low testosterone levels, which can be determined by two types of blood tests. One test measures total testosterone, and the other test measures free testosterone. Your anti-aging provider can recommend a course of treatment, which may include testosterone boosters and Androgel.

Testing for Testosterone

  Psychological Test

  Take an online test to determine if you have the psychological symptoms of low testosterone. The questions might discuss your sexual libido, the strength of your erection, and your sense of fatigue. If you are experiencing any problems in these areas, the anti-aging physician might recommend testosterone boosters such as Androgel.

  Testosterone

  Score you test. Testosterone is a male hormone that is produced by the testes, and is regulated by the brain. It regulates your sexual health, your muscle mass, bone mass, your mood, and energy levels. If your test score is below 300 ng/dL, and you have one psychological symptom associated with low testosterone, then you have a condition called low testosterone. You might consider Androgel to boost your testosterone levels. Before you begin there are some precautions you should take.

Your symptoms should disappear, and normal health should return to you with proper use.
