Women & testosterone

For some women, adding testosterone to their hormone replacement prescription promotes improvements in body composition, energy, drive and athletic performance that are not otherwise achieved with estrogen and progesterone alone.

Testosterone therapy may also alleviate Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and low libido.

Although it’s rarely discussed, testosterone concentrations in young women dwarf circulating levels of estrogen and progesterone. It’s also the first hormone in a woman to decrease with age as of the mid-30s, followed by progesterone in the early-to-mid 40s, and finally estrogen at the menopause.
