Testosterone Boosters

Testosterone is a hormone mainly made in the testicles in men and in smaller amounts in the ovaries in women. It plays a vital role in:

• Male sexual development

• Building muscle and bone strength

• Growing body hair

• Supporting mood, energy, and sex drive in both men and women

While you cannot "cure" testosterone levels completely, you can manage low levels with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. The goal is to raise testosterone to a healthy range and improve any symptoms, such as tiredness, low mood, or reduced sex drive.

Yes. Simple lifestyle habits may help support healthy testosterone levels, such as:

• Regular exercise

• Eating a balanced diet

• Getting enough sleep

• Reducing stress

• Keeping to a healthy weight
