Andropause

Hormone Balance for Men

Andropause is a gradual, progressive decline of free and total testosterone in men that occurs over a period of years resulting in physiological and psychological changes which may vary from mild to severe. Symptoms can be caused by low testosterone, high estrogen or a combination of both.
Low testosterone levels are associated with rapid aging, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, auto-immune diseases, pain, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Low testosterone levels can be seen as early as the mid-thirties in men.

Symptoms & Signs of declining testosterone levels may include:

• Muscular weakness, loss of lean body mass
• Increased fat in the abdominal/chest area, weight gain
