What is Andropause?
By the time the average male moves into his mid-forties, testosterone levels are down about 40% from peak levels and
the deficit is beginning to impact energy, brain power and sex drive. This decline in hormone levels, analogous to
menopause in women, is a relatively new term called Andropause.

As normal aging puts the brakes on hormone production, this decline can be more significant in some men than others.
Regretfully, research studies since 1945 have shown a steady decline in testosterone levels for males 45 – 80 with a
lower starting level earlier in life and lower levels of testosterone as the male ages.

How is testosterone and hormone deficiency determined and treated in a male?
Hormone testing normally involves a combination blood and saliva testing to identify Andropause
as well as hidden imbalances and/or related deficiencies. The hormone levels that are reduced
can then treated with hormone replacement therapy to raise them to more youthful levels present
in a healthy functioning male in their twenties. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), if used properly,
is an effective way to help men deal with the difficult symptoms of Andropause.
