They influence various processes, including digestion, growth, appetite, immune response, mood, libido, physical strength, and cognitive function.

How About For Men?

After age 30, most men experience a gradual but continual drop in testosterone. That frequently leads to low energy, trouble concentrating, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, sleep disorders, high cholesterol, hypertension, depression, and declining sexual desire and performance. BHRT can be used to address these issues. For both women and men, clinical studies indicate BHRT increases the elasticity of blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely throughout the body. Bone density becomes stronger and energy and alertness increases.
