Testosterone Production

Testosterone ProductionTestosterone production in men is vitally important.  In fact, testosterone is the single most important hormone that men have.  Without it, we would lack the more pronounced characteristics that make us men; such as facial, pubic, body hair, and muscle.

 

The production of testosterone occurs in the male testicles, but is controlled by the brain and pituitary gland.  Testosterone helps maintain sex drive, sperm production, bone health, and muscle development.  If you have diminished sexual arousal or sperm count, you may be suffering from low testosterone, and you should consult with your doctor.

 

There are various methods one can use to enhance testosterone production including testosterone replacement therapy, supplements, and topical solutions.  More natural solutions include, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, a regular sleep schedule, and adding more muscle mass to your frame.  Remember that it is also important to talk to your doctor before you make any drastic changes to your diet or exercise habits.
